Bike Against the Odds, I missed Velogirl who was doing the Century, met up with Lisa and Jan from Velo Girls so the group shot....pretty much just us.

It was foggy, nice climbing weather.

We rode out from the Lake to Lake Temescal, up Caledcott Ln to Tunnel Rd. Then it's Skyline - Redwood - Pinehurst .... Moraga Way (no shoulder, hate that).... At the Wildcat & Dam Rd rest stop I ran into Cindysue who crewed at the rest stop.

She asked me if I'd ever done Wildcat Canyon and Grizzly Peak. At this point I'm "you mean there's more climbing? "

Told me to eat up and gear down. I didn't have any more gears to down. Been chugging along steadily in my granniest of granny gears.....so I had some of those energy block things.

She was right the view is beautiful.

So now I've done Wildcat, Grizzly and Skyline. I noticed the people passing me were all saying things like "we're almost there...the steep stuff's past....levels out from here...." In other words...they train on it.

What an idea! Time for another slog up Diablo?
