FREAKIN! AWESOME!!!!!!

We decided to ride Diablo today instead of yesterday.

I took two minutes off my PB from 2006 - 48:12 from the North Gate. I was pleased that the gearing was fine. I was able to stay in the saddle over Burma Rd. which is a 9% average grade. I was in the 34 - 25 for that part, but I was not in it the entire ride, which I had feared would be the case.

Bike descends like a dream. The handling is very similar to the Legolas. It does accelerate super fast though so I was on the brakes a little more than usual.
