    Oh to be in California...

    In Wales we're blessed with some great roads and some very challenging off-road trails. Sometimes, though, you just wish there were some trails that are easy to ride. You know, like those fast, open trails they have in California.

    Yeah, right:

    Just like doing Sarn Helen on my little Tank, it has big steps, Bigger Bolders, Wet Rivers not dry ones, and Nice steep section waiting for you to drop the bike. But we need more sand in Wales.

    Actually, there is a link between that video and Wales, but you have to view it in Youtube to spot it. (Click the YouTube button just below the picture.)

    LOL, no Wales isn't quite as arid. Though I gather it's getting a bit like it down your way.
