Ride Summary
This was the first time Mount Diablo became a recorded cycling goal. The Strava title was Diablo初体验, and the public embed shows 43.1 mi / 4,386 ft / 4h09m. The distance is not extreme, but more than four thousand feet of climbing makes it a full climbing day.
The public route map shows the ride approaching Mount Diablo from the San Ramon / Danville side. The Strava activity did not include additional photos, so the cover uses a publicly licensed summit photo. The route map and finish data are still the clearest record of the first Diablo ride.
Route
From the Strava route map, the ride starts around San Ramon, heads north toward Danville, then enters the Mount Diablo climbing roads. The public activity does not provide exact parking, supply, or turnaround details, so this page only records verifiable route shape and completion data.
Logistics
- Distance: 43.1 mi.
- Elevation gain: 4,386 ft.
- Moving time: 4h09m.
- Reminder: for this kind of long climb, plan water and calories ahead, and keep focus for the descent.
Notes
Diablo初体验 is an accurate title. The main point was not a complex itinerary; it was completing the first Mount Diablo climb record. The route map, elevation, and moving time are enough to set a baseline for future attempts.
