I knew it was going to be a cool and wet day, but the rain was supposed to pass by 8am and I really wanted to keep up my Peak per week goal. Very few in the Bay Area seem to know about Black Mtn. so I thought it was going to be not too tough. Mostly fire road type trail for a few miles up, but the incline just never really seemed to subside, it was uphill almost the whole way. By the time I hit the peak I had done 6.9 miles so just short of 14 miles round trip. The last 2 miles never ended, a little wet and slippery but not too bad. I actually thought the downhill was going to be dangerous, but not at all. Very little view at the top due to fog but it cleared up a bit on the way down. Saw some dear! Turkeys at the entrance.
Continued rocking it with my ALZ fundraising, almost $2500 now!
