Juniper is at 3000 feet elevation, and we're starting at zero. We meet at 3
pm, say we start around 3:20. Sunset is around 7.
I might start earlier, just to be sure to get into camp with plenty of time
to set up before it gets dark. Maybe not, though. The bike I'm taking has a
dynamo light in

I'd like to start earlier just in case I take too long to get there. When I
checked the route someone posted, it was 12 miles of climbing. Depending on
how much pushing/walking I need to do, I'd still want to get there before
it's dark. I don't have much experience setting up camp.
Any other slow

I am still planning on joining the group - that makes me #7 I think.
Starting earlier than 3PM sounds better to me also. I am pretty good
at getting up the mountain without camping gear, we'll see how that
changes with tent, bag and food; this'll be a first for that.

Checking in from the high sierra.
This is a ride where you get the freedom to choose how to get up there. If
some want to take roads, others want to take dirt, great. Juniper is just
shy of 3000 feet. I tend to ride up on the roads, and take dirt back down
from around the junction. Just because I

Will our ride be all on pavement as Joe's map shows or will it be on dirt
trails? I see a dirt Juniper trail on the map taking off from the North Gate
Road. I thought this was going to be a dirt road ride, don't know why I made
that assumption. I've never been to Mt. Diablo.

Northgate Rd averages 6.9 percent with a peak, riding up to the 1,000-
ft mark, of 12+ percent.
A 2000 fit climb in 6.5 miles.
Summit Rd. from the junction Ranger Station to the top, is a 7.5
percent average, and a 1470-ft or so climb in 4.5 miles, with a short
10 percent section around Blue Oak

300k (15% dirt, 15k feet of climbing) yesterday and ran into Jim at
around mile 153 at the Point Reyes Station control. Small world.
