He requested I add in Morgan Territory...so he gets in two climbs he has never done.

We can grab a quick lunch in San Ramon, after Morgan T and to refuel before Diablo.
I will bring simple, streamlined route slips for everyone.

Her ride buddy Matthew

And a few Maybes.... I Hope you Maybes can make it.
I shortened up the route a bit and revised the climbing down slightly.
Route Link (above) is this revised version of the route.

Hey, Maybes, here is a Bail Out Option: Morgan T & Diablo just to The Junction
