2026 Diablo Day 36 - Saturday Morning Juniper

That anemia treatment is still yielding results. Today I figured I'd do an easy ride to Junction so I'd have plenty left for Juniper... never sure that's going to work, but it did today. After a few more Junipers, I'll go for a Muir.

I sold my Klein this week; almost 25 years of being my best bike - dozens of centuries, STP, charity rides, and probably a thousand times up Mt. Diablo.  Didn't get as much as he was worth, but he went to a nice guy who was really excited and always wanted a Quantum Pro, so everybody's happy. The nice folks at Trek Alamo boxed it up and it shipped on Bike Flights to Maryland, so I'll probably never see him again. 

Saw a lot of riders coming down - probably started early to beat the heat... but it still wasn't too bad yet.


ME!  My new bike Roxanne makes me happy.

The Mountain really starts here.


Oh yeah... gwine be a hot one.


I always call this "Tank Road"... because it goes to the water tank just out of site... but I think it's part of Summit Trail, hence the crosswalk.
