2024 Diablo Day 35 - Saturday Morning Junction

Haven't ridden for TWO WEEKS because of the weather, and today was a little bit better and the last Saturday of 2024, so it was a must do.  Pretty wet, thick fog, a little drizzle, not terribly cold.

Wildlife Encounter:  possibly the biggest flock of turkeys I've ever seen in the back yard of that last house on Diablo Scenic.

Just one guy passed me on the way up. Not a lot of riders on The Mountain today.

Met JB at Junction and we both concluded independently, that both of us would have a very hard time doing a Summit in the foreseeable future. I don't know if I'm over the hill, or just need more time on the bike.

2024 Diablo Day 34 - Saturday Morning Junction

Did not sleep well for some reason - did not ride well this morning. Felt OK, just no energy.

The air quality was supposed to be good, but it looked smoggy to me... and smelled a little like fireplace.

Not a lot of riders today - saw a few regulars and a few newbs.

Roadkill Report: an OWL! - that's a first for me.











Roadkill Report: plain old stupid squirrel.

Merry Christmas to all my loyal readers!
