The wind was blowing pretty hard when we left the hotel but it was only breezy on the mesa.
We rode Cattle Grate, part of South Rim, Hidden Canyon, Bowls & Ledges, part of Windmill and the Practice Loop.

Micro air.
On Hidden Canyon I balked at a ramp ledge drop with a few rocks at the bottom. I chastised myself for my cowardice and tried again. When my front tire dropped off the ledge I grabbed the brakes and sent myself on a nice endo. Rookie mistake. Jolene watched in fright as my face headed for a rock. Somehow I got my arms up and blocked the blow. I was sure I'd broken or torn something. But as I lay there the systems all checked in with no red alerts of pain. Just scraped up forearms and bruises. I got off lucky.
Two days of good riding and sunshine in the bag. Loaded up the van and headed home with smiles on our faces.
that picture is a bit ambiguous. i think you've discovered the yeti. and he's been injured.
