aka_kim, melissam, Mel's SIL Johanna, dachshund, Veronica, V's husband Thom, LeeBob and I rode up Mt Diablo today.

It was a first for Mel, Johanna, and I think for dachshund as well. Congratulations ladies!

For those of us who made it up to the summit just once*, it was 29 miles and 3420 ft of climbing, according to my computer anyhow.

We had a fun late lunch afterwards at Fuzio's in Dublin. Since my bad influence was there, I had two beers. Two and a half if anyone was keeping track. A fun day with great people.

* A certain sandbagging overachiever went and did the last 100 yard 17% grade climb to the summit twice. Skinny little brat.
