Great riding weather.
I had a few hours after work today so I hit the local trails.
One of these hills had no trail, was steep and got steeper, and was very tall 8O . I'd say maybe an 800 foot climb. I was standing over the bars trying to keep from wheeling off the back, and my arse low to struggle for traction. Wheelspin in first and a scared rider on top. The hillside was in good shape, not many rocks, and the traction was good. Towards the top the wind was ripping, about 30 MPH, and was in a cloud. Quite an adventure!

LOL!
I try to not ride alone too much. Dangerous. Still sometimes a guy has got to ride and his friends are busy... Had a good ride today with Roger and Tony out in the desert. No pics though  . Super tired! I rode with the knobbie on the YZ rather than the paddle. Won't do that anymore... WAY harder!
