I understand having nothing in your legs, that's how I've felt for the last 6 months. Today I didn't even attempt to ride the 17% grade, I was already toast. Even walking it hurt. Normally if I can't ride it I'm to "ashamed" to walk up to the top parking lot, but the hammer twins I was riding with were expecting me.
So how many Diablos tomorrow?

Mountain biking it if the weather is good and a road ride on Sunday again. Of course Thom has to do both of those, I only have to do one.

I feel like a member of the club now!!!
I made it! All the way including the 17%!! Yippeeeee!!!! Happy dance time!
However, as usual, totally eclipsed by V and her mammoth ride. She rides 35 miles with a bunch of hills before we even start, and she still rides up that 17% grade.

Don't worry about the money - rental and washing fee of the gloves.
Besides now you can tell me what all the flowers are.

sounds like you gals are having way too much fun. I'm a former Contra Costan, in fact I was married on Mt Diablo at BBQ Terrace, and graduated from Monte Vista in Danville. I cut school way too many days to count and went up there to get above the fog.
What I'm trying to say is that I wish I'd known gals like you when I lived down there....

We wish we'd known you, too. Maybe you can meet midway in Bend someday.

Oh, no, that's too much! I was going to report on the flowers anyway being the inveterate lover of quickly forgotten factoids. Besides, are we going to see you at Pardee next weekend? Originally Posted by Veronica
