About Me

My photo
Diablo Scott
The first time I rode Mt. Diablo was in September 1991. I went with some people I had just met and never ridden with before (and never saw again). I was strictly a flat land rider before then, but I went all the way to the Summit (walked up the Wall), exploded my rear tire on the way down from bad braking technique, and then slept most of the rest of the day. Been doing it once or twice a week ever since. _ E-mail me: diabloscott@ymail.com
