Well I now have a new reason for a helmet. My friend and I decided to ride this morning, even with the threat of bad weather. Here in Bakersfield at the end of May one doesn't expect much in the way of rain, even when predicted. So we went ahead and loaded the horses, headed to the foothills and started to ride away from the trailer. I realized I wasn't wearing my helmet and went back for it. Was I glad I did about 30 minutes later, as we were caught in a downpour with hail! I couldn't believe it. Bakersfield, in May! Jusy another good reason for a helmet, as one never really knows what is going to happen when you are riding. Lori and Apollo, the perfect gentleman on the trail.
