Narrative:

Right main gear would not retract after takeoff. Departure airport was below landing minimums but above takeoff minimums. I had the first officer recycle the gear several times unsuccessfully, so I made a decision to divert to the takeoff alternate. I did not declare an emergency since the gear down locked normally each time. I landed at the takeoff alternate without incident.
