Day 129 - Riding the Border Wall

Got up early this morning to for a mountain bike ride with one of my riding buddies Harold. The trails were too muddy from the rain we got earlier in the week so we went exploring on the road. After meeting up at the parking lot at Mission Trails, we headed out on the Hike and Bike to Military Rd. We took a left on Military to a dirt levee road. We rode on the levee road for a few miles until we reached the Border Wall and the Anazaldua Bridge. (For those who don't live here, it's the wall the U.S. government built to keep out the illegal aliens from Mexico. I stopped to take a picture of the wall. It was impressive. A smooth white wall of concrete rising up 40 feet high (see picture). I don't think anyone is gonna be getting over that puppy. We talked about how cool it would be to have a road or mountain bike race along the border wall. We turned and took the road back to the parking lot.
