Anyone doing Primavera?

Errr, not committing to anything, but my shopping trip got canceled. What were those Diablo particulars again....

[SadieKate]

I'd say that public comment about the shopping trip being cancelled makes it a commitment.

Coupled with my dismal showing at Weight Watchers today . I gotta get riding....leaning towards a strong yes.......

I would really love to try this ride, but I'm singing in church this Sunday... we're basically booked on Sunday mornings unless one of the kids is sick. Maybe we could do a Saturday sometime, or I'll just plan to miss church one day when neither Blaine nor I is serving in the band.

One question that I never really thought of before... are there guardrails on this road? I'm really afraid of heights. The drive up or down Mt. Hamilton is an E-ticket ride for me. However, it's not as bad if I'm driving, so maybe this would apply if I'm riding. I don't know. Guess I won't know 'til I try it!

My sister's visiting from Norway so I'm out, perfect weather too. C'mon Mel, if I got *almost* all the way to the top you can deffinately do Mt. Diablo.

Wear the tiara.

I can't comment on the South Gate Rd, but North Gate is fine. I also have a real problem with heights (or exposure as in there's nothing next to the trail). I've never even thought of the issue on North Gate and I've gotten the adrenaline shakes so bad on some rides that you could hear the bike rattling. The route gurus have told me that South Gate has more shade so I think it would be even less of a issue there.

I can't promise that I can come. I need to find out what my hubby has planned also for this weekend. Plus, it's 9am. :P I am not a morning person.

Heh. I'd have to figure out how to add it to my helmet.

anyone doing this?

It's time to sign up for the 34th Annual Primavera Century! 100M, 100K, 70K and 25M routes
available. The 100M climbs the Calaveras "Wall", wanders around the Calaveras Reservoir into Sunol then
heads through Pleasanton to the Altamont Pass, back through Livermore, Dublin Grade, Palomares and
Niles Canyon.

I'm not doing Primavera this year however Neil is so I may be hanging around somewhere.

Yes. Well, I'm registered anyway, whether or not I ride it will be determined by the weather (and my aversion to wind and rain).
