Silver Lake 2009

It was definitely fall this time at Silver Lake this year. Cool, windy, and rainy where the conditions for this weekends trip. The parking lot was not the familiar packed like sardines we are use too. I had an odd feeling, like something was missing when the long line to get into the parking lot was nowhere to be found. Also when driving on the dunes, it kind of felt like it was all to our selves. The sand was packed a bit and some of the hills had some surprises in store for us. One moment was when going over test hill and then building your speed on back side and hitting one of the smaller hills. This smaller hill was missing a down side, and just totally dropped off. Basically when you realized this was not going to be a good thing and that this hill was nothing more then a cliff it was too late and gravidity was in full effect. Well it was a good thing the drop off was not that big of a drop but enough to scream “OH $h!%!!!” a few times with the hope that you would not go over the handle bars during the landing. Well everyone did fine, however later that day we did see someone that did not make out as well as our group did. He was not hurt just fell off his quad during his landing. Everyone had fun and we came away once again unharmed. We all agreed that we should of rode a little more this past year and think a summer Silver Lake trip for 2010 will have to be a must.
