Nothing Like A Wet Desert

After a recent rain dumped all over SoCal, it was time to ride. I ended up going solo for this one. It’s too bad that nobody else could make it because it was a perfect day out there.

Playing around in the hills a bit before heading to the washes. That’s Harper Dry Lake under a cover of fog.

I was looking for a wash, but a wash found me. :banana:

No problem. I’ll just follow it to the main one just ahead.

This was a different wash that I caught much farther down. It was at least two cars wide and fast flowing. No time for pictures.:prof:

Same wash. It went back pretty far and got narrower and muddier. This is where I stopped. It kept going, but was afraid of climbing waterfalls with wet, muddy tires all alone. Shit can happen, so I turned around and stayed on the easier stuff. :chicken:

67 miles of wet singletrack, washes and hills. :drool:I’m going to be feeling this ride for most of the next week. :lol:
 
This is true. Since Timo has been off the bike, I’ve gotten real used to solo riding. I also like that the air filter and my googles stay so clean. :D

So whats up with Tim being off the bike? Hope he is healthy and good!
 
Nope, thinking about seeing a doctor about my shoulder and upper arm of the throttle side. Another big sidelined item is working on the downstairs bathroom. Housework is nearing the end though.
