After last year’s seemingly endless winter here in the Pacific Northwest, many were relieved when the weather forecast started showing sunny days for as long as the eye could see.

Dusty Days begone

Warm rides, sunny bbq’s, and days at the lake with friends are great, but with that comes dusty, blown out trails, forest fires, and air so smokey your doctor might tell you not to venture outside.

Dan and Joe decided to take advantage of a rare, rainy day this summer, chasing the clouds through one of our favorite riding zones aboard the new Zerode Taniwha gearbox bike. With smoke and dust replaced by foggy, damp goodness, riding this unusual and exceptional bike never felt so good.

 How do you like your Bellingham dirt pole?

-Dry, Dusty and Blown out
-Extra Mud, sloppy, wet

I'm going to go Dry and Dusty

 The beauty of riding here in the PNW is that in-between the dry dusty and blown out and muddy sloppy mess is the typical damp loamy endless traction riding that we enjoy most of the year.

Went for a ride on Sunday with the Mrs on our local trails. The traction was fantastic and the air was crisp and cool. Looking forward to a trip to Galbraith this weekend for more of the same. Riding season is here! Wink

 @Poulsbojohnny: FYI, you might want to ride somewhere besides Galbraith on Saturday.

Per the WMBC, the landowners are aerial spraying glyphosphate in all the recently logged areas tomorrow.

 @Poulsbojohnny: Yup, update from WMBC is that spraying will be Monday instead because the helicopter is busy elsewhere today.

 Good stuff I like to brake before I take a corner though. Not in the middle of it.
