Mt. Diablo?

I'll ask the group and see what happens!

Would you be willing to meet us at Heather Farms?????????

[deedolce]

Sure, Heather Farms would be fine! It's been decades since I've played tennis there. Where do you meet at HF? Is there one big parking lot? I got lost last time trying to find the meeting place at Arbolado!

Yes, the big lot. As you drive in it is on the left side. 2nd left turn- go right and then you'll get in. OR go to the end and turn left into the lot.

I'll let you know our plans and then we can do a PM for for cell phones and the like.

Hi BikeGoddess,

Does this mean that you'll be joining us? I've sort told the guys that we'd drive out to Heather Farms, and be there around 10:00. Sound okay?

I'm looking forward to it! And maybe dreading it a little too....

Looking good for me. I still need to tell the rest and see what happens. I'll get working on that right away.

No matter which way we go, 1st stop is Sweet Affair! Coffee and a scone or whatever. How's that sound?

[deedolce]

Yum! I'm always for food stops! Is that after we ride, I assume? I'm really looking forward to this!

[Bike Goddess]

We'll do Sweet Affair before AND after the ride. Be sure you are well stocked on the food side BEFORE you come down. I have found out the hard way that when doing this mtn, a good breakfast about 2 hrs prior to the ride PLUS a good snack just before we go, makes a huge difference in my stamina.

IF we end up doing the south side first- we can stop on the way. If we do the north side first- Sweet Affair is on the way.

I take with me up the mtn- 1/2 pb and jelly sandwich, cytomax, sport beans, goo, and bars + cytomax (at least 2 bottles worth). There is water at the junction for refilling bottles.
