9个人的玫瑰峰之旅
北加州是美国乃至全世界的超长距离越野赛发源地之一,跑步界最古老的越野赛事--西部100,便在此地。而在大旧金山地区(湾区),这边厢有四大历史悠久的赛事:TNF全球冠军总决赛,Quicksilver 100K,Miwok 100K和Ohlone 50K。 令人嘘唏,2019年是最后一届TNF全球冠军总决赛,此后,这一悠久的冠军总决赛,便在历史的长河中烟消云散。也许,世界各地的分区赛,还可以继续延续?。。。俺曾经几度进入年龄组前三名,奖品虽然简陋,但是虚荣还是令人窃喜。 跑过这四大赛事的中的三个,但是一直不曾涉足Ohlone 50K(欧龙尼)。于是,今年年初,临时起意,想去跑这一赛道。当然,只是跑同一赛道,而不是参赛。为了增加难度,想要跑double ohlone,往返跑50公里,合计百公里!于是,第一人选便是挑选了陈哥与雪妹,俩人的马拉松成绩均为3小时左右,越野成绩也与本人不相上下,彼此容易搭伴。 阴错阳差,稀里糊涂地。。。最后演变成为欢乐跑,汇集成一支9人队伍。。。
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/map(13).jpg) 这是最终的路线图。为了照顾菜鸟妹子们,回程选择了相对容易的山谷大路。 10小时,35英里(56公里),海拔攀升9000英尺(2700米)。
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/converted-IMG_5490.jpg) 5点半,俺们便上路,6点半,已经翻过使命尖峰山巅。

![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/converted-IMG_5501.jpg) 年前风雨,很多树木倒卧。陈兄调皮地扮演了梁上君子。
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/converted-IMG_5510.jpg) 逼近Sunol Regional Wilderness公园。
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/converted-IMG_5522.jpg) 垃圾回收箱上的英语、西班牙语、汉语三种文字的标识。
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/converted-IMG_5523.jpg) 开始攀登玫瑰峰。10英里(16公里),海拔攀升3000英尺(近1000米)。
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/converted-IMG_5535.jpg) Haiming在此与大家会合。今天是他的生日。
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/converted-IMG_5542.jpg) Calaveras Reservoir水库远眺。这是旧金山地区的饮用水源之一,因此不对公众开放。
![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/67/Aerial_view_of_Calaveras_Reservoir_showing_the_reconstruction_of_the_dam_wall.JPG) 最初的大坝建成于1925年,因为Calaveras断裂带的存在,如果遭遇大地震,可能有溃坝危险,因此2011年开始重建大坝,2019年完工,造价8亿多美元。(图片来源:维基百科)

![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/converted-IMG_5568.jpg) 行行复行行,一路都在上坡。
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/converted-IMG_5572.jpg) 今天本来准备拿单反上山,早上出门的时候,忘记在了桌上。手机拍摄远景,弊端就是,一旦放大,画面的颗粒感便严重到惨不忍睹。

![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/converted-IMG_5592.jpg) 不知道什么时候,队伍分成了快组与慢组两个部分。目前的差距是半迈,最后拉大到了1迈半。
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/converted-IMG_5605.jpg) 凡坡必开走。俺是慢组俺怕谁?
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/converted-IMG_5608.jpg) 走到后来,慢组之间也拉开了距离。
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/IMG_5777.JPG) 罪魁祸首就是俺身后这位偷懒的妹子,下坡也要走。^_^(摄影:杨妹)
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/converted-IMG_5611.jpg) 山脊线上的心湖。
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/converted-IMG_5619.jpg) 慢组快队已经快要越过山脊。
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/converted-IMG_5627.jpg) 向玫瑰峰的顶峰冲击。
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/converted-IMG_5629.jpg) 慢组登上顶峰之际,快组已经向回程猛冲,他们围着山头绕了一大圈,然后登顶,俺们慢组是取捷径直接登顶。
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/converted-IMG_5632.jpg) 回程的时候,俺蛊惑慢组走了一条捷径,期间要跳4次栅栏,典型的非法穿越!
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/converted-IMG_5658.jpg) 好处就是跑的很快。
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/converted-IMG_5667.jpg) 牧场上的牛牛们。

![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/converted-IMG_5673.jpg) 网红景点--W树。
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/converted-IMG_5682.jpg) 俺们在Sunol公园追上了快组的Julia和雪妹,她们俩与Charles走散,所以在公园总部停留等候。
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/converted-IMG_5684.jpg) 两位妹子跑的飞快,很快便跑出了视野。
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/converted-IMG_5691.jpg) 天际线上是大菠萝山,上个周末,陪俺师傅跑过一遭。
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/converted-IMG_5704.jpg) 返回使命峰的途中。
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/converted-IMG_5713.jpg) 在顶峰下面的营地(Eagle Springs Backpack Camp)补水。
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/converted-IMG_5717.jpg) 硅谷南湾的雾霾。 个人猜测,硅谷雾霾产生的原因:人口密集,周遭被群山环绕,因此汽车尾气滞留不散。
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/converted-IMG_5735.jpg) 本山的牛牛们以脾气暴躁而臭名远扬,杨妹就曾经被一头怒气冲天的牛顶了一个趔趄。
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/converted-IMG_5746.jpg) 山,终于绿了。看起来,今年又是一个大旱年,这满眼的绿色还能坚持到5月吗?
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/converted-IMG_5768.jpg) 使命峰(mission peak)入口处,幸福吃草的牛牛们。 陪着师父去跑大菠萝山
日前,如花牵头去跑大菠萝山(Mount Diablo)。师父敕令俺随同护驾,她老人家担心山高路险,小身板承受不起。于是,便无怨无悔地加入了行动小组。
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/IMG_5287.jpg) 出发的有些晚,因为公园的大门8点才开启。
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/IMG_5289.jpg) 山雾不曾消散,美到极致。只是道路略微泥泞,不甚平坦。
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/IMG_5294.jpg) 一路扶摇而上,踏青一般地惬意。
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/IMG_5298.jpg) 转过一道山口,海拔3849英尺(1173米)的大菠萝山主峰屏风般地展开。

![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/IMG_5306.jpg)
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/IMG_5307.jpg) 晨雾弥漫在山涧旷野,与晴空万里一览无遗的景致相比,却是另外一番味道。
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/IMG_5317.jpg) 不能确定,那座浮出云雾的山,是否Morgan Territory Regional Preserve保护区?
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/IMG_5312.jpg) 酷跑山野,大家伙都很开心。
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/IMG_5323.jpg)
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/IMG_5323_(2).jpg) 那块大石头叫Devil's Pulpit(魔鬼的讲坛),上面还有几个做死的家伙。
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/IMG_5324.jpg) 峰顶停车场,有人在售卖山珍。。。啊,不是!有人在展示本山的植物特产,属于环境保护一类的活动。

![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/IMG_5425.jpg) 如花的马拉松成绩是238,而且似乎从不认真训练。(摄影:杰茜卡)
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/IMG_5348.jpg) 山巅一线。很喜欢这种调调,有一种御风飞翔的自由感觉。
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/IMG_5354.jpg)
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/IMG_5355.jpg) 著名网红景点--金鱼池。
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/IMG_5361.jpg) 云雾逐渐消散,山野渐渐回归一贯的响晴灼日。
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/IMG_5364.jpg) 师父有些小累,徒儿忙不迭地侍候左右。
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/IMG_5372.jpg) 遇上一群徒步的烙印。 喜欢扎堆,这一点似乎是中印两个族裔的共同点之一。另外的共同点还有:重视家庭、孝敬父母与重视子女教育。最大的不同是,一个吹牛,一个自谦。
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/IMG_5384.jpg) 今年8成又是一个大旱年,1月份的牧草,也不够茂盛啊。
