Since it had rained the night before, there was plenty of traction for our regular race setup. It wasn't until the afternoon that everything dried out and we had to mount up the sand tires, which are great at medium to high speeds, but a real pain for slow speed riding. Oh well, there's always a trade off!

Now it's time for some slipping and sliding in between the many trails in and around the sagebrush:
Now we switch to our sand tires and head over for some hill climbing! Here is a montage of Kathy doing her thing:
Finally, we finish the day with some jumping. Since there hadn't been any wind with the last storm it was hard to find a lip steep enough to provide a good launch pad, but this one wasn't bad. Here's Kathy again hitting a decent attempt:
All-in-all it was a great day and we had the dunes to ourselves the entire time.
