Click for Walnut Creek, California Forecast

Located 30 miles east of San Francisco in Walnut Creek, California, the Diablo Cyclists is a recreational road, touring and off road bicycle club. We are focused on providing cyclists of all levels an opportunity to ride, train and socialize with other bicycle enthusiasts. Our emphasis is more on the fitness, skill building, and social aspects of bicycling and less on racing. Please come out on one of our rides and get to know the friendly members of the Diablo Cyclists.

Ride Schedule

See ride schedule page for more details. All rides leave at 9:00AM from Heather Farm Park in Walnut Creek unless otherwise noted. Meet at the north end of the park near the restrooms at the baseball field parking area.

Thank You From the Mount Diablo
Interpretive Association

Earlier this year, an email was sent to Club members asking if there would be support for making a $100 donation to aid Mount Diablo State Park. After receiving unanimous approval, a donation was made to the Mount Diablo Interpretive Association. The following letter was received from the Association.

Dear Diablo Cyclists,

Thank you for your generous donation of $100 to the Mount Diablo Interpretive Association! We so appreciate your support.

Your donation will go toward the many programs to the public provided by MDIA. These programs include: education publications, interpretive events, trail signage, park maintenance, school programs, interpretive displays and many other services on behalf of Mt. Diablo State Park. We are currently working onthe renovation of the Summit Visitors Center and publication of a new book of photos of Mount Diablo.

We look forward to "seeing you on the mountain," perhaps at Save Mount Diablo's Mountain Challenge in October.

Sincerely,

Steve Elliott
Treasurer, MDIA
