Took a ride Saturday up Palomar Divide / High Truck Trail near San Deigo in the pouring rain and fog.

Where there's rain and a little sun, there's rainbows...

At the summit, in the clouds, the leaves were beautiful...

The mud was like ice. 5mph downhill in this was too fast...

But it was fun, of course...

Time for a Jerky break...

Top tip: If your jerky is stale, heat it up a bit. Yum!

I know, right? But the dirt was dry so it didn't stick to the Jerky... :)

That mud pic is terrifying! eeek

Of course, I still have the stock Death Wings, about 2/3 worn now.

Yeah, to tackle that you HAVE to have full knobbies. The ones I have are the (barely) street legal Michelin AC10's. They are EXCELLENT.

Doesn't mean I didn't have a few pucker moments...
