What? It's the end of May! Weather is supposed to be frigging hot already.
@Tom the Bomb , @scan , Reck-it-Ron, Vince the Trail Slayer and I would take advantage of the cooler desert temps one more time for a romp through the PCE. The five of us rolled out at 9am from the top quickly. Vince jumping the gaps! We plowed through to the ups and downs where Vince would have his first PCE crash. No biggie, just a washout. We carried on working our way to the bottom. Seemed to go by quick. Trail in good shape but might have been just a little sandier than two weeks ago. Weather still generally cool. Didn't drop my chain this time on the DH chunkyness this time. Everyone ripped through in one piece. The sand wash was, yup, sandy as usual. The sun was out but didn't feel like it was beating down. A quick break at the oasis the up and flying down Hahns. Holy smokes that's a sweet DH trail. What a blast and hitting it fast! At the bottom, it was so sandy the bikes stood up by themselves.
. Over to Cindy Whitehead for the exit. New dirt for all but Tom. More of that goodness... Vince would lay the bike down again on a tight techy steep switchback.
It happens. All smiles though. Only saw one other biker the whole day, and it wasn't an E-thing. Weather held out nicely. Could we possibly get another chance to ride PCE before summer. With this screwy weather, who knows? Lunch at the local Rubio's hit the spot. Traffic on the 10 sucked.
