Diablo - May 8

[yellow]

For those of you who didn't see the custom jersey thread, SK laments this May rain.

I'll go out and do my must-stop-raining-for-Diablo dance. I will have a can of Red Bull in each hand, an old chain around my neck, my new TE keychain balanced on my nose, and of course I will be wearing my Terry racer skort and sleeveless yellow jersey. I will be helmet-less, just to be daring.

But I am oh so conflicted.

This rain in may equates to snow in May in the mountains. I'm ready for some spring skiing...and this means that I'll be spring skiing into June. Which of course will cut into my riding. Oh woe.

Oh, poor you (on the skiiing). Waa-waa-waa! Do we get a picture of this ensemble?

I hope this means you're skiing Saturday and riding Sunday (assuming we have a teeny break)? We got some celebratin' to do! Jo can lead the way!

Yellow... sounds very intriguing. I'd maybe even be willing to shell out some bucks to see this one!!

I say you go skiing! How many times do you get the opportunity to ski in June? You can ride all year, pretty much.

Slinkedog that's blasphepmy! Riding is SOOOO much more fun than skiing.

Since I'm sure the dance will be successful and we'll be able to ride, maybe you could do a reenactment for us on Sunday? Maybe post-ride, after a few drinks?

[SadieKate]

Even if we can't come up with a starting time yet, what have we decided regarding starting location? Are we going to move it closer to the post-ride libation location?

[slinkedog]

V., I don't know. Skiing is pretty fun. Let's see, you get hauled up a hill by some machine and go down as fast as you can without killing yourself. It's like riding, but without having to climb. Sounds like a good thing to me!!

[yellow]

Ohhh, but Slinke, I earn my turns.

No lift ride for me. Climb up. ski down. Repeat. When done, drink beer.

But I really want to do it in the sun. On corn snow.

I'm not going to be able to make it this Sunday, too much stuff going on - I might even have to go into work

What? Work over riding? I think you're caring the Puritan work ethic a bit too far.

I was thinking about starting from Heather Farm park instead of Arbolado, if we're doing the North side. It's across the street from where we'd be eating... Here's the map.

[Veronica]

Are there bathrooms convienently located at Heather Farms? How hard is it to get across Ygnacio? by foot and by bike?

[slinkedog]

Yellow... where do you ski? You go up a whole mountain on foot? Wow! You are amazing! I think I would spend most of the day climbing and about 1/10th of it descending... oh wait... that sounds like most of my bike rides.

Perhaps we need a entire chorus line? Oh girls! Get you cleats a tapping!

And this morning for the foothills of the Sierra Nevada:
