Two Wheel Tuesday, 18 September

Oh look, the park it building little jumps for us. Unfortunately their trail-builders are not especially accomplished. We can plow through them and leave great deep furrows behind, but getting air-borne, not likely. I challenge you to show me an equally well furrowed field in the central valley. It does lack a little in size, but if you drop a few seeds behind as you pass, we might be able to get a good crop of winter asparagus. Seriously though, is it not the second time this year that the parks' back roads have been graded? As usual I really have to wonder why.

All that dust lining my throat and sticking to my front teeth, sure made me happy the ride starts, and more importantly, ends at the La Verne Brewing Company. A long summer of no rain and a monsoon season that went AWOL, have left the trails and, now, very wide roads parched and ready to send great clouds of earth into the low sky. Back at the Bru-haus it was suggested the scene would have made a great photo (if only I had been with the bunch) - that cloud stretching back, reaching up the hill, as the group sped their way down. The words can only have been muttered by the first in line, everyone following wheels would have been caught in a struggle to breathe, and see. You could take the first in line spot, but lets face it, that would mean dislodging Mr. Scheetz from the position. Good luck with that. 

What do you think? Two more months of this, and then, maybe, we get some rain?
