Mount Diablo - Nov 1 or 2

[dachshund]

Is anyone interested it riding up Mount Diablo the first weekend in November?

I have a slight preference for Sunday (11/2) but it's only slight. I'm thinking we'd do the same as the group did a couple of months ago, meet at the big parking lot off Railroad in Danville, and ride up from the south entrance.

I've only been up to the junction once, so I'm not much of a tour guide for anything more than going up and coming back down the same way. But I'm certainly game for any other routes (provided we go up from the south.)

Will there be beer afterwards?

Will there be beer afterwards?

Most certainly!
(other phrases that come to mind start with "is the pope..." "does a bear..." You get the idea.)

[melissam]

OK, then I'm in! Either day (Nov 1 or Nov 2) works for me.

[jobob]

Have a few for me!

I'm interested! My preference is Saturday 11/1, since I think I'm traveling on Sunday (it would be good if I could remember these little details).

Oh good! The 1st it is then.

Hey dachshund (doxie?),

Is this your Seven's maiden voyage up Diablo? We should have a celebration at the summit! Hmmmm...what to do, what to do... Guess we have until Nov 1 to figure it out.

Why yes it is. And it will be the first time I see the summit, ahem, couldn't quite make it that far the first time. So, yeah, a celebration is in order!

We just need one really strong person to tote up those bottles of champagne.

Um, Veronica, are you joining us for the Diablo festivities?

[Veronica]

Nope - racing the Salmon Duathalon on 11/1.

I hope I can run faster than a fish.

We'll miss you and your bob-trailer-pulling abilities. But good luck on the duathalon -- no feeding the fish!

[dachshund]

Hmm.... Salmon... champagne... I'm getting some good ideas...

Well darn, Veronica! I was looking forward to having a conversation with you this time, instead of wheezing, gasping for air, and muttering about cardiac arrest. Kick butt on your Duathalon, ma'am.

Well I suppose we should discuss the rain issue. I'm inclined to wait and see how bad it gets. I have Sunday free as well, in case Saturday's rained out.
