Video: Riding the Dry State
In Washington we have a rare phenomenon going on, the entire usual moist grippy duff is bone dry. The normally slippery roots now have grip. We do love our loamy wet trails, but we are taking advantage of the long sunshine days, and the dry, dusty, fast running trails. I hope you enjoy the videos.

Doesn't look like Tiger or Tokul, maybe Galby?

Um, if you want dry and dusty, eastern wa a la spokane has got you covered. In some corners I've had dust/sand come up over the wheel
