Yeah, fog-passing will do that.
By the way, technically that wasn't fog we were in. That was a cloud. Seriously.

What else is there to add to the previous posts, other than to say that I tip my hat to you, Rich, you're one tough guy, and that for me, the mountains were easier to climb than finding them! Great day!

Cheers,

Bob

anyone else (aside from Rich) a bit sore today? I think throwing the bike around on Hamilton kinda took a lot out of me... arms and back and legs a bit too.

Things I have learned.....

I like by bike better without scratches.....

The police on Mt diablo will cut you slack if you do something really really stupid for they're amusment.

Good gear is a GREAT investment.

Never, ever try to run with oopsclunkthud when he breaks out the 'Unstealth'.

It can be bad for you, bad for your ego too......
