Played hooky and did the Bike Journal ride up Mt Diablo. Deviated off course with a couple of the guys and we actually went up the North to the junction and then down the south side, where we met up with the group and rode back up - this time all the way to the summit. Well, I did. Those guys I started with (Twain and GW_12) kept going back and forth up the hill like sheepdogs with the group. I bet they did the equivalent of 3 ascents.

Had fun riding with Veronica and aka_kim. (Kim is a total complete utter irrevocable unredeemable sandbagger, by the way. ). Had a recovery feast of V's cookies - yum!
