We did Mines Road to the Junction in Livermore today. That's how far I'm hoping to get on the staff ride for DMD. That first climb is a bear though. I'm not sure how my legs will feel with 91 miles and 9,000 feet of climb already on them. If only I could skip Patterson Pass...

Thom would love to be the official photographer for DMD. We had been planning on doing some unofficial photos like we did last year and then going to our assigned spot, but doing the event photography would be cool.

PS You really do look good in the photo. I'll get Thom to e mail it to you soon.
