Pro Tip: The rangers are dicks. They don't care about cyclists doing 50mph down the hill, but will hassle you if you do 3mph over the limit on a motorcycle. :|
Mount Diablo sucks.
As someone said the rangers are anal when it come to motorcycles.
I got pulled over for going slightly over the super low speed limit while being passed by cyclists.
Don't waste your time and go to Mount Hamilton instead.
I've had the exact opposite experience. :dunno
I have been seen going well over the posted limit with no ramifications, and actually wheelied past a ranger at the intersection halfway up. He met us at the top and checked our licenses and regs, and told us to be cool.
In fact, the only time I've been hassled is when someone called in to complain about a guy on a supermoto riding down the mountain with no hands. :laughing
Ranger at the gate told me to keep both hands on the bars from now on. :rofl
OP, not sure if I can swing a nooner with ya. That's the middle of my workday, but I might be able to peel off if I fib and say I have a dr appt. :laughing
I'm usually off at 3:15, if you can make the ride a little later than noon I'll make it a point to leave early. :ride
And thanks for the offer but I'll pay my way, I try to throw some money at the parks to do my part to keep them open. :thumbup
