Waiting on the grid

Big race meet today in 37 degrees C and gale force winds. You can sort of see the terrible dust cloud in the background. Very challenging conditions for the riders and for us riding home on country roads as well! At least we haven't had to cope with the devastating fires further South.

Sounds challenging. As a former motorcyclist, I remember that gusty winds can be very dangerous.

[Joan Robillard]

Not fun - the dust cloud that is bet the race was.

And here I thought us Arizonans were the only ones to have heat and wind and dust! I love your colorful picture!

[Merrelyn]

Great capture, but I can't imagine those conditions being very pleasant for riders or spectators.

[Catherine]

A great shot. Love the reflections in The sunglasses

[Kathy]

Hope everyone made it through ok. That's very hot!

[Rachel]

Nice shot. Pity the conditions weren't so great.

[Connie Little]

Challenging conditions indeed.
