[RBW] Any truly appealing panniers I'm missing?
+5 for Swift Industries. They let you pic fabric, grosgrain, and thread color. I'm ordering a Brompton bag from them. They make great stuff. Also the bags made by Philosophy are excellent. I met Troy the owner of Philosophy Bags at NAHBS and spoke to him for awhile about his bags. The bags look and feel great, the stitching is precise, the mounting hardware is German (making it as smart as Arkel), and they're made by him and a small staff near Portland.

[RBW] Re: Swift Industries Panniers
I've got a pair of the Short Stack Panniers in waxed canvas which are very similar to the pics on their site and I love 'em.

[RBW] Re: Mangini Ranch open to bikers?
Another place you can check for trail access is East Bay Regional Park district website. They maintain some of the trails in the area and keep PDF's of the maps of the parks on their site. The link to the maps is: http://www.ebparks.org/parks/maps Also, if you live in Contra Costa County 511 Contra Costa will give you some excellent maps for free. You just need to go their website and submit a request. Here is the link http://www.511contracosta.org/bike-ped/bike-maps/ The map request info is near the bottom of the page. I just finished mapping out how to ride from my place in Concord over the hills in Clayton through Black Diamond and out to Brentwood. It'll be a good test for a new bike that I'll be getting. w00t!

Generally, bikes are allowed on all fire roads, and allowed on some single track. I know you can ride dirt from Walnut Creek to Mt Diablo 100% legally. If you've never ridden out here, just be aware that there are a lot of steep hills in the dirt, especially as you go higher up Diablo, and be prepared to walk some.

The only newer information I saw was that the East Bay Trail Dogs did some trail maintenance back on May 9, 2009. Anyone know if it is open to bikers? I am looking to take BART to Concord (from Oakland) and ride through Lime Ridge, then Mangini Ranch and into the trails on Diablo. I also noticed that these grey dashed lines are listed as Unpaved road Private that would let me connect this all together. Not sure if these are now open or not. I just did a little more research and found out on OpenStreetMap that the trails are listed but mostly un-named:http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=37.91452lon=-121.97493zoom=15lay... It seems as though as long as it is legal, I shouldn't have a problem riding mostly dirt from Concord into Diablo.
