2026 Diablo Day 63 - Saturday Morning Junction

Heavy rain for the last several days and then today was beautiful.

The road was still wet and there were a lot of wet leaves and branches, so all that indicated for a cautious ride.

Saw old friends Keith and Kasters at Junction.  We talked about bikes and getting old.

Wildlife Encounter:  Deer on the other side of The Hole.  Turkeys just up the hill.

Coming down, right before the Hole in the Wall... at that sharp steep bend, there was a rider down.  I couldn't tell what happened, but some folks had already stopped to take charge of the scene and direct traffic, so after verifying they had already called 911 and didn't need my help, I slipped through.  Could've been the slippery leaves though.  I saw the paramedics going up Diablo Road when I was on the trail... so I saw emergency vehicles at the beginning and the end of my ride.

This vehicle was responding to something not on The Mountain.  I was in the left turn land and indicated to them that I wasn't going to move.

Deer and wet leaves.






The crash scene.  I think there were two riders, but only one crashed.  They were probably at Junction with me, but I didn't talk to them.
