Description: 3B30: A few of us "B" riders have talked about "doing Mt. Diablo" on Saturday Nov. 29th. We will meet at the Athenian School at 8:45am and ride to begin the ascend from the South Entrance. The idea is to just ride up as much as you desire and enjoy it. Please post here if you are interested.
