Our March 6 ride would be an excellent training ride for Diablo. It's got some decent little climbs but they're all separated by some nice cruising. Come join us!Originally Posted by snapdragen
Sounds like you all had an excellent time! I can't wait until I've got the confidence to give Diablo a try. I'm gettin' there.......
I didn't think I had Diablo in me either and while I didn't make it to the summit I feel darn good about what I did accomplish. I've never ridden a road bike up that many vertical feet of gain in one long climb but it wasn't that bad. You won't do it until you give it a try. My goal is just to make it farther each time. Maybe I'll get a cookie the next time.

Just what I needed, another reason to lust after a back up bike...to add to the winter trainer aspect...different gearing, had not thought of that ;-)
sounds like a wonderful ride. Sorry I had to return a u-haul I'd rented to bring stuff down from Sonoma so decided to strap the mountain bike in the u-haul and ride back. Hardly scenic but any ride's a good ride.
Taking a detour I discovered where the local bmx park is and a funny moment was the warm wave from the bmx'ers as I rode by. I guess bike clothes brand me as "one of the tribe" as opposed to "riding a bike till I can afford a car or the DUI ages off the record".
Want to know "did you wear pearls with the jersey?"

Since V will always be in front of me, that is probably not a problem! Originally Posted by Trek420
