If the Tri-Valley is anything distinctive in the afternoon it is windy. It is so windy that from time to time I use this wind as a surrogate for hill training. Instead to heading up the "big block of granite", as Rich so eloquently calls Mount Diablo, you can just head south to Pleasanton/Dublin/Livermore and get nearly blown off your bike in any direction. Yes, it doesn't matter what direction you are traveling in the wind will never be from the back. Go ahead, I challenge someone to get on a bike and prove me wrong. If you can, please let me know precisely where it happened. I want to feel it for myself.
Today, Ross, Bob, and I rode. It was kind of an eclectic route that made up of wind, some climbing, and a lot of turns "just because". The end result was around 35 miles and a really good time for all of us. Sadly, Bob got a flat at mile 33, but by then we were pretty much done.
I can't wait for this weekend's TNT ride in Danville and the post-ride BBQ at my house. Life really doesn't get too much better.
