[CANCELLED] [Bike] El Diablo's in the Details [Advanced]

EVENT CANCELLED DUE TO RAIN - We'll Try Again Later!!

It's wildflower season, and the hills of the East Bay are in full bloom! Or, at least we know they'll be green after all this rain... 

Assuming we finally get a rain-free Saturday, join Ambassador Nick M for an advanced ride up Mount Diablo. Yes, it's in the East Bay, but is only a 45 minute BART ride from the city so no excuses*! Starting from Walnut Creek BART at 9am, we'll warm up along the Iron Horse trail and ride to the South Gate before starting a full-gas climb up the mountain. The climb itself is 11.1 miles with 3,156' of elevation gain at an average grade of 5.3%.

After summitting, we'll regroup at the top before making the descent back to Walnut Creek BART. Make sure to bring a windproof layer - the descent can be quite chilly...!

Want even more climbing? Tack on the East Bay Hills and catch a BART station of your choice in Berkeley/Oakland!

Think Green: Public transit and/or carpooling highly encouraged for this ride.

NOTE: This is a semi-drop ride intended to be ridden at an advanced pace. We will stay together until the base and regroup at the top of Diablo, but no stopping along the climb.

Questions? Message Ambassador Nick Molzahn on Slack!

*Fun Fact: Nick lived in Walnut Creek when he first moved to California back in 2015, and took BART to frisbee practice in Daly City 2x a week!!
