Yes, JoelS was fast! If you saw that ride video I put up on BF back in June, you get to see me get dropped by him. I ran into him at the bottom of Indian Hill Road as I was reaching the top of Newcastle Road. His riding partners were very friendly too.

Not going to be able to make it to Mt. Diablo, as I have no truck until January. Old one got totalled last month, so I've been car-free all this time. I kind of like it, except that I'm somewhat limited in climbing locations.
