Look at all the smoke that has blown in from the fires in the foothills and the Sierra's.
It was a warm climb but it was really nice with no wind for the descent.
Still no Spiders but a bunch of Cotton tails hopping all over.

Thurday night hill climb
Just a bit cooler than the last few days so it made for a great ride to the summit.
This is looking out at Oakland Hills and San Francisco.
The T-Storms are developing and heading in.
Interesting rock formation.

@Kaminokaze, just wanted to say thanks for all the wonderful pics. I grew up in Tracy, and still love the coastal hills. I occasionally swipe one of your pics for my desktop.

Tuesday Night Ride
What a magical night on the Mtn.
I can't believe it's already Aug 8th and still no Spiders yet. I used to find them in late July. Has anyone else seen any?

These are all pretty good quality photos, what device/camera is being used? I can't imagine people are riding up with digital cameras, so are these all phone camera shots? More impressive than my Samsung that's for sure, lol!

I just carry my HTC 10. Clean the lens on my jersey before taking the photo if it's not too sweaty. The Key to most people and cell phone photos is they don't clean the lens. So most get hazy soft looking photos with lots of Glare.

Those Tour of California guys are really fast. What kind of bikes are they riding? They're sure more impressive then mine, that's for sure.

Say Hello to to my little furry friend
Last night was out for a fun little loop up the junction.
I found this guy out looking for Love.

Hot Summer Nights
Oh, it's getting to the Dog Days of Summer! The Next few days will be deadly outside everybody stays safe and cool!!
The Forcast is not looking like it will make for any good riding unless you are heading to the Coast. With everybody else heading to the Coast please be safe. Traffic Will Be Crazy

I did a graph of today's Vuelta a Espaņa stage vs Diablo. Can you imagine doing a Summit worth of
climbing in a Junction worth of distance? Also... in the rain.

The Last Night ride to the Summit
Spider count was 1
Who remembers the fire from a few years back. It was at about this time year.
not my image this one was from last night. Amazing how the Mtn has grown back.
Capped off a wonderful late evening ride to the summit

Touch of Fall was in the air.
Cool Night ride to Oyster Point. I had to break out the arm warmers. I guess the knee warmers and base layers are coming soon.
Golden Hills of late summer/fall
Oh, it looks so far from here.

That's not the middle of nowhere
That's not the middle of nowhere! That's the gateway to Brentwood; otherwise known as the Paris of the San Joaquin River delta.
