Mt Diablo intimidates the shiz out of me. One I dont think I could climb it, two Im scared I would burn my brakes trying to go down it, lol.

 

i KNOW i couldnt climb mount diablo. Thats sooooo tall. I definatly need to improve before i tackle anything that big.

 

you guys want to try it today? I'm not in great shape, but the downhill is worth every brutal pedalstroke

gotta true up my rear wheel, i can get to the base in about an hour

 

Its hella late in the day to start a ride or I would. You dont have any problems with your brakes at all? We need to get a i-club ride day going stat.

Btw are you having nightmares about my turbo, lol?

 

I'm down to do the SF - Tiburon Bike ride again with a group. Park our cars I believe around Pier 39, cruise across the Golden Gate Bridge, and end up at Sam's in Tiburon. We most likely will have to Ferry it back as I don't think anyone will want to ride after being at Sam's for a few hours. haha

BTW, here is another popular loop in the Palo Alto area. It's called the Old La Honda Loop:

Thats what Im talking bout. Im gonna start a thread right meow.

 

yeah i ended up riding a motorcycle around instead. As for my bicycle brakes, they aren't good at all. Most of my braking is done with a prayer; but I rock diablo no problem at all, and haven't yet eaten **** on a road descent. I guess my parents knew whats up when they got me riding at the age I could walk.

I think you'll be fine if you follow a good line and stay comfortable; single bike brakes don't overheat but apprehension will bite you mid corner, and never brake if you are leaned over. I might try an after work diablo attack some time if I can.

And lulz to the turbo! Thanks for being patient with the cagefight, I was glad to see that new up pipe replace the 'two-piece' mod you had going.

 

wow.. biking in fairfield... thats too far for me.

 

^ nah man diablo is all up in danville, all imposing

 

there are a bunch in the briones in lafayette i go all the time and for a short fast fast downhill lime ridge in walnut creek
