It's rumored that the first Mid-Week ride of 2010 was called by Dick, but Chris got the week wrong so Dick couldn't make it. No matter. The next ride will be soon.

Seven met for breakfast in Castro Valley at 9 AM and then took off for Mt Diablo, returning via Morgan Territory Rd. Don made the MWR mistake of admiting he knew the way to Mt Diablo... he got stuck leading most of the way. All went well until he gave us the too-many-to-count U-turn tour of Clayton. See the map if your interested in repeating the tour.

I'll let the pictures tell the rest of the story. They'll have to as there will be no video. It seems that when I used the new, fancy software to delete the previous footage it wasn't actually deleted, but moved to the hidden "Trash". I'd not emptied the trash so the card was full with old, hidden video leaving no room for anything new.

Mid-week riders will have to wait before becoming computer screen video stars.
