OK..I went out there to ride the track. My first impression (when I went bikeless before) was a little off. The vet track is pretty short, but the (owner?) said that the vet track will double in size when he moves some horses up to northern California.
They were watering the vet track, so I thought I'd go scope out the main. On the first lap, I mistook a double for a table. My first thoughts were, "I'm above the Grand Canyon without any speed, this is gonna hurt". Thankfully, I only pranged myself a little in the ensuing crash.
Most impressive was the shade .......... ahhhhhhhhhh ...what a concept.
