2026 Diablo Day 16 - Wednesday Morning Junction

On Saturday I discovered my flat repair from last Thursday's ride didn't hold and I had a tube to fix it but then I wouldn't have a spare so I cancelled the Diablo ride and went to SportsBasement for some new tubes.  Far fewer choices than there used to be thanks to the tubeless tire revolution (HA!)... but they had some that were fine and now my seat pack is packed again.

Me and Charlie are trying to make Wednesdays a regular thing... it was certainly nice today.

Wildlife Encounter: turkeys, deer, vultures, really fat squirrels.

There are still a few poppies dotting the hillsides - smaller and farther apart now.

Looking at some spring showers in the forecast, good thing I'm flexible.


I wondered what this fellow was thinking about - sure wasn't his own safety.

Charlie put the hurt socks on right from the start.




Team VeloRaptor did a re-group at Junction and Charlie took club photos for them.

Vulture gulch never disappoints.

This atrocious driver received some angry admonishments!
