Bob hasn't climbed Mt. Diablo in two years (somehow) so it was time to go back. It started off colder than I had hoped but once we started climbing, I was overdressed and too warm. The cars were super respectful and not passing in the blind corners until I jinxed it and mentioned as such. Lesson here is jinxes are true and not just superstition. I had pretty fun descent, cars were pulling out of the way for me. Once we got to the north gate side though, the headwind was ruining the fun. Bob also found a cool bike path to avoid Ygnacio Valley Rd. The wildflowers were crazy! I thought it was pollen in the air that was getting in my face and eyes but later on Morgan Territory we found it swarms of bugs. The descent was kinda ruined because of all the bugs getting in my eyes, mouth, and nose. I was struggling to see. They filled the air and pestered us the whole way back.
