• Mount Diablo Ride with Tracers

  • From: manybikes
  • Description:

    It had been a while since my last trip up Mt. Diablo! What a ride! 

    Saturday morning I called Uwe to see what was on his list... low and behold... Tracers wanted to take the Spyder for a ride up Mt. Diablo! Sweet I thought, so I dressed and headed over to Uwe's for the ride. 

    Tracers was chomping at the bit...

    

    The weather as a BEAUTIFUL with bright blue skies with full sun and temperatures in the mid 70's. 

    When we left the house, Uwe was on the Victory Vision.

    After just a couple miles we needed to loop back to the house to get Tracers a more motorcycle friendly pair of boots. At that time, Uwe decided to Jump on the Aprillia dirt bike for a more "nimble ride" up the mountain. 

    

    After the boot change, we headed to the base of the mountain and began the accent. KUDOS to Tracy!  Up to this point Tracy has been on some not so twisty roads and as I followed her... 

    

    She was doing GREAT! Everything she was doing looked perfect. She would break and downshift into the corner... and then accelerate out of the corner. I was IMPRESSED! 

    When it came to the bicycles on the road (there were tons of them!) she gave them respect allowing them the room they needed / wanted and she passed only when safe for all parties. It was fun watching the faces of the cyclists as the spyder passed... it was as if they were looking at something from another planet! it did not help I was following on the BMW Adventure... another "odd" looking machine. 

    As we reached the top I shot this video: 

    As usual, the Spyder was the HOT TOPIC of conversation at the top of the mountain. Motorcyclists, pedestrians, hikers, and cyclists all took a second look... 

    All of the motorcyclists at the top were friendly and conversing with one another.

     

    

     

    After a good break at the top, we headed back down into the valley... 

    What a great ride Tracy and Uwe!  

    Thanks!
