Wow so he did use a road bike. Gearing looks fairly standard too. Yeah there is no way I could do that on my road bike. Impressive!

My Friend is still following me
The geology of the mtn is quite interesting around each turn there is something different
Little higher on the mtn
The weather is changing.

Mount Diablo State Park with Shantelle Tatiana Tupaz and Rozel Mimi Tupaz.
April 9 at 12:30pm ·
We typically have many cyclists ride to the top of Mount Diablo but most are adults. Shantelle, 10 years old from Pleasanton rode up with her father today. I had to take a photo of this remarkable girl and her dad on this rare accomplishment.

Afterwork Ride
It was a wonderful night for a ride to the summit.
I see this guy at the junction just before sunset often.

No photos this weekend but climbed diablo again yesterday. 72 and sunny at the base. 39 and hailing up at the summit. Dafuq! Thankfully I had gloves and a wind jacket in my jersey pocket! Anyway. Good ride regardless. It's never a regret to go up there

Yes, it's been pretty cool at the top, the Descends have been cold if you are not prepared for it.

Gotta say though the feeling of weather going from 39 back to 70s as you descend is amazing haha

Someone has painted the bad spots on Southgate(Thank You) maybe the park will fix it right this time.
Be careful out there!
