    who knew Chevy's has so many parking lots?

    but we found each other and rode together, perfect weather, delightful company, got to try that little roadside open air cafe I've seen from the road many times, great views, we had a good ride.

    Stay tuned as we may do this again.

    ("New gal" speaking here)

    No pics! Live sightings only! Although a video of the "new gal" tipping over onto the sidewalk from a standstill would have provided plenty of laughs for all! When, oh when, will I learn to only clip in while moving?

    New Gal's tipover was really quite poised, I'd give her a 9.

    It was a very select group , just Trek, New-Gal and me, with no event photography. We had perfect weather and great bay views -- it's a scenic course and good for a fun/recovery type of ride.

    New-Gal may be ready for Diablo soon, though. She powers up those hills (well, bumps really) purty darn quick.

    SadieKate "Did you go for style points? "

    French judge gave her a 8.2, Russian judge gave a 10, Norwegian judge gave 9 for creativity.

    She showed all the required skills, we throw out the high and low scores. Even without the triple jump she's in the lead right now but wait folks for the short program.

    New gal is ready for Diablo.

    Okey-dokey! Is New Gal willing to hang out with you guys again?

    Magpie has told me that she wants to meet Waldo which may call for a Diablo ride. Not sure how early she's willing to get up as maybe, just maybe, summer temps may be upon us.

    Jeez - I go off to a movie, turn my back on this thread, and it goes haywire! You guys are too much!

    You learn so much on this forum - style points, I never knew - I was just falling down any old way! Mabe it's time to work some variety into my spills - perhaps I have been relying too heavily on my falls to the left, but I guess I do tend to lean in that direction

    I don't know about the Mt. Diablo thing you guys have going - it sounds HOT! I think I'll keep working on my Old Tunnel Rd loop here in the Oakland-Berkeley fog belt (starting tomorrow am) and try to get up it with fewer stops each time - maybe when I can do it without stopping I'll be ready for Mt Diablo (will it be winter by then?)

    I appreciate the encouragement!
