Diablo - thank you for your kind words.

I don't know if there will be a round of applause but there you go.

Some day, I might just get to Califiornia and I will try to stay with you up that
climb that you torture yourself on.
Mind you, don't expect me to do the pacemaking !

I'll expect you to do the pintbuying.

So at this rate you'll hit the big #6,000 in a little over 6 weeks.

.......I'm tired just looking at the climb.
12,000 ft (nearly 4,000 meters).

Maybe JH would fancy that ???

No!!! Elevation is in feet - 3600 feet of climbing in 11 miles. Don't want to scare you off.

Errr, you can keep that climb, expecially that wall part. :eek:

I'd need to lose 20 lbs to even try it. Btw, there's a typo in the pdf (junction is misspelled along the bottom).

That sounds like a lung burner for sure. I could do it. The question is how slow would I be.

Oh, that's alright - it's "only" 3600 ft.

I think the triple would be called for - in fact there's no thinking about it, it would be called for !

Triple by-pass comes to mind.

On a clear day I can see Mt. Diablo from the Bass Lake grade. Awesome sight.

Congrates Lim, watch out though, I'm catching up... I only have 5,900+ posts to go.😄

Will you be on the Mt Diablo Challenge this October?

Nope - too expensive ($50 for a 1-hour event), but I was thinking about volunteering.

(OK, I was a little optimistic with that 1-hour part... probably closer to 70min if I did it)
