I've felt blessed the last two thursdays - perfect weather for Mt. Diablo!

I can certainly tell how out of shape I've become over the rainy season. But I think these weekly rides will be just what I need - well that and a ton of riding during my two months off which starts at the end of May ~ yippee!

so another thing I think I will vastly improve is my descending skill. Mt. Diablo is great for that because of all the corners. And coming down on the south side is gradual enough that I don't get too freaked out.

And next week, more daylight!


oh, p.s. - ride on Sunday:

30 miles, 630 feet of climbing

Meet us at the Pleasanton BART station around 9:45 for a 10am ride.
