I always enjoy the detailed and informative ride reports (http://bushnell.homeip.net/~bill/bike/pictures/2006.html) a man named Bill Bushnell posts describing his long rides throughout the south end of the San Francisco Bay area, and points (well!) beyond.
Here's a report he posted on his recent ride along Mines Road and up the backside of Mt. Hamilton, which he did the same day as the Devil Mountain Double: http://bushnell.homeip.net/~bill/bike/ride_stories/mt_ham_cw.2006.04.29.htm
He posted lots of nice photos he took along the route, but one photo in particular caught my eye, with the following commentary:
"About a mile from the top of the climb I came upon a small rest stop for the DMD (http://bushnell.homeip.net/~bill/bike/pictures/mt_hamilton_loop_clockwise.2006.04.29/pages/page_46.html). One of their guys offered me a can of V8. At first I refused, not wanting to freeload their supplies since I hadn’t entered their event. But he insisted, and I couldn’t refuse. He asked me if I was hot in there (under the fairing). I told him that the fairing is more like an umbrella than a jacket."
Check out the photo - could the man in the dark shirt and floppy brim hat standing next to the Subaru be none other than Veronica's Thom? :)
