Glamis Heat

[rjvoight]

Just got back from Glamis this morning at around 2am. What a trip. 18 hours of drive time one way, 2 partial days of riding, 18 hours of drive time home and about 500 bucks in gas.

 

Got a couple good rides in, early morning and in the evening about an hour or so before dark. Took one night ride as well.

 

The dunes were great. It was hard for me to get a feel for things though cuz of the heat. The other problem was I had no GPS. With no people around to follow (we saw three people the entire time) it made learning the terrain a trial and error process. The only place I know I found for sure was Olds. I think I found the wall and maybe Brawley slide but I am not sure on either of those. The rest of the riding may have been "hot spots" but I could not tell you.

 

I did realize one thing for sure, Glamis is a Banshee Riders Paradise. Unfortunately because of the heat I left the Banshee home and took the wifes Raptor instead. I love the Raptor but I was wanting the 'she on so many different occasions it wasn't even funny.

 

We are planning on returning to Glamis in October hopefully with cooler temps and the 'shee as well as a good sized group of friends and family. Later everyone.

Went out 2 weeks ago. Not bad. Canal cools you off during the mid day heat. White out condidtions anyway. Sand was the best i've seen all year. NO TRACKS!

Going out again in 2 weeks for Fathers Day. Sit in the shade in yer boxers or AC if you have a friend with $. Best riding all season is during the summer. Night rides baby!
