Mt Diablo - Dec 9

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.

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.

Good to hear, Cindy!

That would be Bekki Livingston and I could see her riding all the way to the delivery room. She's a pretty incredible woman!

Maybe?! I haven't heard that story. I will have to ask her........

OK - so I was going to wimp out on this ride because I haven't been doing any hill rides and blah, blah, blah, what if I can't do it, etc.

But I though how fun it would be to see all of you guys, and so I'm in for sure (well, unless it's raining...)

I just ordered a pair of tights from TE so I'll have something to wear that fits!

Are there details yet? Where and when we are meeting?

(Oh, and no Seven yet - just the same ol' bike as before...)

Glad to hear you will be coming Z we can struggle up together.

Yep I agree with you Im not riding up Diablo in the rain.
No idea about details I guess we are all waiting to see what the weather looks like a little closer to Saturday.

bikerz "(Oh, and no Seven yet - just the same ol' bike as before...)"

I saw a "chance of rain" in the long term forecast - that would be a bummer.

Up the mountain in the rain would be unpleasant, but down the mountain in the rain would be very scary!

And Trek420, no Seven on order either - maybe after I see what my 2006 tax year looks like!

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

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.

Didn't you just get your mountain bike totally re-done?

**Trek420** · 12-06-2006, 04:45 PM

just new wheels, thinking of getting her a face lift (re painted) maybe after ALC

**SadieKate** · 12-07-2006, 07:12 AM

The forecast isn't looking so great for 12 steep downhill miles, plus I have a cold.

Bill says that is the weather is good he's still planning on driving down and hauling Leslie with him, but we're in a wait and see pattern.

Leslie, the same for you?

**bikerz** · 12-07-2006, 09:32 AM

Oh SK - I'm sorry about your cold!

I'm up for it if it's not raining or if rain is not threatening, but 12 miles of descending in good conditions is taxing enough for me, so I don't want to push it in iffy conditions.

So we'll all just check in Friday night or Saturday morning?
