Diablo - May 8

[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?

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.

Alright, I say Heather Farms it is then. Thom read a weather report that said showers would be coming in Sunday afternoon, so he suggested an early start to get us off the mountain before it rains. How is 9?

I'll miss you Jo - and Lee too of course.

Who else is coming? Right now I now I'm thinking Cindy and BF, Jenny and Jason, SK and Bubba, Kim (bring the Pilot!), T and me. But SK is good for bringing the hordes.

Mother's Day has thinned out the troops. I think Andrew is coming so Kim can make fun of him but I haven't heard from him yet.

Still awaiting confirmation from Yellow and hubby. We may have to take a back seat to the spring snow.

But SK is good for bringing the hordes.

I'm going to tell Robb you called him a horde.

Just emailed you again. Swapped out the Word doc for a JPG. Maybe that'll work.

Kim (bring the Pilot!),

Pilot? Seriously? I ask because Andrew (my BF) flys aerobatics as a hobby. I'm sure he'd love someone to chat with over carrot cake

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.

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

Weather Report:

Well, we can hope Kim's prediction about the weather being wrong is right.

It was supposed to be clear-ish here in the foothills this morning and it's still raining, raining, raining.

[jobob]

If memory serves .... there are public restrooms at Heather Farms park but I don't know if they're open all the time. There's a stoplight at the intersection at the entrance to Heather Farms so you can use that to cross Ygnacio.

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.
