Happy New Years 2013

Christine and I near the ramp to the summit when snow appears.  Not cold going up and just in Jersey and no fingered gloves.  That will change.    (WI Worldwide)

2013***Happy New Years***2013

 Be Safe

 

My only prediction for the year.  It will get warmer than the 30 degrees at the top of Mt. Diablo on New Years Day at high noon.
 

 



Dr. Zhivago Dave had Russian headgear for the downhill (WI)

I ran into Mountain Bike Racer Jerry at the top--we did my first ride from hell-Sierra Century Double Metric--together in 2003 (WI)

Team Photo-the views from up here are worth the trip.  Oh--the view ended 500' below in fog bank.  (WI)

It must be cold--Cisco Dave is putting on knee warmers.  We didn't get any video of Dave riding around Diablo doing Ganga Style. (WI)

Dr. Dave is frozen to the ground (WI)

I'm trying to double my income and offer to sell a layer of clothes for top dollar (WI)

The first good photoshoppe effort of 2013--taken when we came down from the Wells Fargo at the summit to the Junction.  (WI)

 

Note for future insantity--what works on 30 degree downhill (at 20 mph it feels like 17 degrees)
