The sand is so much nicer during the week. If only work didn’t get in the way

This time it didn’t.

The more you ride a bike in Glamis the more you seek out the untouched sand.  By the time Fri. gets going the sand is pretty ripped up by the cars so we have been seeking out the midweek sessions.

Decided to take the dog this time and he did pretty well.  Even rode in the loud a@# car which was interesting being he is terrified of loud noises.  Anyway, wasn’t  particularly camera happy this trip.  More about ripping and riding.  Just got a new Canon G10(thanks GF).  Been playing around with it as a point and shoot throw in the camel back camera.  The color reproduction is amazing and am thus far pleased with its performance.

As is often the case with Osbourne Overlook the snow birds and Rv’ers roll by and have a look at the dunes.  Couple of 40+ year old dudes were camped next to us riding 10 year old two stroke Banshee’s.  Ended up putting on a show for the snow birds and everyone else that was watching.  At one point a group of quad riders stopped at the dune in front of the overlook.  15 deep at least.  7 of em sat there gawking at the 12 ft reentry airs off the lip these guys were doing …glamis is so rad.  The old guys with quads commensurate to their age schooling people.  Should of taken more pics as these in no way do justice.

Playing around with the camera wanted to test the video.  Nothing serious here(in terms of the jump) but quality is not to bad a for a point and shoot.
