Mt Diablo - Dec 9

[Trekhawk]

Uh Oh - just saw this post!!! Yes, I'd like to come too. I think I've only done the South gate climb right? Isn't the north gate approach steeper? I'd really like to get to the Juniper parking lot this time, and maybe even further. I was *s0* close last time.

Wonderful - it will be great to ride with you again and share some pain umm I mean laughs.

Z ! Where on earth have you been ?!? It would be great if you join us.

Double ditto! I thought you'd gone missing.

The North Gate side starts out easier than the South Gate side, but has two sorta steep sections - but nothing you gals can't handle.

I don't think I have the gears or the legs to do this one, but I was wondering...would you like a SAG driver?

hmmmm, tempting!

...... haven't been on the bike but 2 or 3 times since the injury (mid July). Between that and a party the evening before, I may be hurting. I'll think about it!

Hey you! Have you heard us talking about you!

Where you been? How's life? The new job? Ever-thing?

[cindysue]

things are working out well!

I like my job; I'm learning a lot and getting a taste of small town politics.......

I work 4 days per week in King City and spend my 3 day weekends in the Bay Area (I'm house sitting for a friend, right on the Bay overlooking SF).

Spent a relaxing Thanksgiving with my best friend from high school and her lovely family in SoCal.

I have the week off between x-mas and New Years (with pay) and plan to visit family on the East Coast for x-mas, and may go to N.Y. with friends for NYE.

LOL - I dont think I have either but hey come along and bring up the rear with me.

thanks Lorri!

We are in our "off season" right now; that being October through December. We plan to start up the Cinderella Training series again in January/February timeframe. In fact, I'm meeting with Bekki from the Valley Spokesmen this evening.

As for my role, I'm stepping down from managing the team, and letting Denise (she was on the Valley Spokesmen's Women's Team) take over - we need someone local to handle the outreach and Clif Bar / LUNA connection.

But I'm in the Bay Area every weekend and plan on staying an integral part of the program.

Good! We would miss you too much!

Wish I could do the Diablo Ride this weekend - our high is only supposed to be 42 and very windy all weekend! Yikes!

The Bekki you are talking about - is she the one who had her first baby at 40 and rode almost all the way through her pregnancy? I used to be on the Valley Spokesmen Women's team years ago.

Hmmm, this is tempting! I still don't think I have the legs for it, but if I bring my mountain bike, I'll have the gears for it. My low gear is a 22/32. Now I just need to get a set of slicks, and I'm in.

It would be great to ride with you, Trekhawk!

That's an idea...I don't have the legs for this either, but do have mtb with slicks....weather depending.
