For me, weekend plans are sufficiently in flux that I've not been able to commit, but I hope to join you all. Looks like it will be a great day!

People who are driving can park all along the left side of Alum Rock on the dirt, for the New Years ride there were a hundred or more cyclist cars parked along there.
I am riding to the start this time, if anybody wants to hook up.
Weather forecast is for some marine fog to move in through Monday so it's not going to be as savage as it is today. Still gonna get pretty bloody warm in the afternoon up there though.

It has to be cooler on Monday. A lovely 55 minutes up Quimby in 95 degree heat with multiple stops in the shade. There were plenty of orange construction trucks out and lots of paving going on. By the time I got to near the end of the second section of climbing the smell and heat were overwhelming. I sat in the shade for a few minutes and turned around to head back. There are a lot of rocks on the road on the descent back to Alum Rock so even with new pavement you'll need to pay attention. No clue how the rest of the climb looks after the second descent to the top.
