Did the race 3 times between 2006 - 2010 in my late 50's, early 60's. First time did a 1:30 on my beater bike with fat tires in running shoes and a tee shirt. Got a bit more serious the next 2 times with a steel frame bianchi and a bit better gear and dropped the time down to 1:15 both times. Figured that was it as I wasn't getting any younger and the only way I was going to do a better time close to an hour was to get serious about interval training uphill and buy a lighter bike and neither of those things were going to happen. Still ride every day and ride up Diablo a few times a year just to keep the memories fresh.
I've climbed mt diablo a couple times but doing this on Sunday morning 🙂 can't wait. Just gonna have some fun and give it what I got. Threw on some tlr pirelli's on my gravel bike. Ready to rock

What video system did you use to record your activity? Thank you.
Congratulations on your amazing climb!
Great ride. So close to an hour. Impressive effort.
Nice video. Perhaps edit out the panting? It sounds crazy when I play back at double speed (no way I'm watching this whole thing at normal speed).
What’s your approx age, Ryan? Curious for max HR
Looks early 30s bud. Nothing that important just work hard as often as you can
