Big Bear Monsoon Ride

First trip this year to BB involved ice, 28degF and 50MPH gust.
Our third trip was just as eventful, non-stop pouring rain. Temperature was not an issue though. Great traction and great times, well, maybe except for Raptorz31. I'll have his clip later tonight..

UNBELIEVABLE TRAIL CONDITIONS!!

nicely done! I prefer that condition over sandy and loose at Big Bear.

wondering how you entice Sherms to ride outside of southbay.

And HERO dirt it was. It was great to get out and ride with my other half and some friends I have not ridden with in a long time. I still don't think I have managed to wipe the smile off my face. Good times!

Now if only I could figure out how to get it to actually rain men.......

Steaming, not smoking. The last part of that one trail required hard successive braking to setup the corners properly following steep chutes. With the pouring rain, the water sizzzled on contact with my calipers and rotors so I thought I'd record it on the second lap. Kinda neat. My buddy thought I was hissing air from my tire.
