The Hill Of Doom

This is a hill in the area I like to ride by my house. I named it the HOD years ago and the name stuck. It's steep, rutted, and adorned with numerous round and angular rocks, ranging in size from a golf ball to maybe a soccer ball. In the summer it is also deep with dust and sand.

I like the HOD.

The HOD. It's hard to photograph the feeling it gives you in the pit of your stomach the first (few) time you gaze upon it.



The KLX has been an excellent bike.



Some open country by my house.



Not mine. 2010 KTM 530 EXC.

It's certainly is nice and green over there...at least for a while.

The KLX250S has been an excellent bike. Then we see a photograph of a 2010 KTM 530 EXC. Are you hinting at something?

I hope to challenge the HOD some day.

I bet that 530 would be a terrific bike.

The HOD is waiting for you, Weld.

The KTM is a bike I saw on CL. It's fun to look.
