Amit was/is in town. We went riding. Not really knowing where to go with the overcasted weather I figured Diablo can't disappoint for someone who never rode to the top. So I called some Rivendell guys and soon it was on. Plan was to meet at Rivendell after hours and ride to the top of Mt.Diablo. Amit was on amtrak time constraint so the ride had to be short and sweet. But like most trips at Rivendell things don't always go as planned. When we were ready to go, I asked Grant if he wanted to join us. He told us, "Well I'm have other things to do but I'm going to do a short ride that I always do before or after work." Figured since Amit needed to catch his train Grant's shorter ride seemed best. So a bunch of us tagged along with Grant while he went on his "typical ride". The ride was shortish but the hills were grunty. Through the twist and turns of the lovely homes of Walnut Creek Grant takes us through a couple of sections of dirt. Reaching to the very top of the ride we ended up kinda of stuck due to the trail being closed. So without really making a big deal about it Grant just walks off the trail down the hill. We follow suit and continue along our way. After a couple of turns and descents we make it way back to towards Bart. Grant tells us, "Well I'm going home now if you want to go to Bart just go that way." Joe, Jim and Sean decided to keep going while Amit, Will and I have to cut the ride short and catch a train. And usually this happens on rides that I do. Most of it is made up with no destination. Usually we ride till we don't want to. We ride with the sense of adventure, exploration and a little bit of recklessness. Thanks to Grant for allowing us to tag along. Amit is here for a bit so expect so more shots of him before the year is over.
