Ridgecrest dual-sport ride

I got up at 2:30 am and drove 3 hours to Ridgecrest in the high desert for the OC Dualies Ridgecrest 250. I rode for 7 hours in the snow, the muddy clay, and desert streams swollen by the 4 days of rain the previous week. I fell in the snow. I fell in the mud. I fell in the water. The only casualty was my tool bag lost on the trail somewhere. The weather great and the course was challenging enough. The most challenging were the trails covered in four inches of snow! I was caked in mud and drenched from stream and sweat. My bike worked great and everyone commented that they used to have one just like it before they got their KTM. Heh.

Mtn Biking part deux

Warren and I went mountain biking again this visit. The weather was perfect and the ground still moist from all the rain we have had. We made it all the way to the Four Cornes before turning around and going back down the hill.
