Bakersfield spores? What's that? Could that be a pseudonym the fungal infection known as Valley Fever?

If so, I personally wouldn't be concerned unless there was an official warning from a government health organization or some other similarly credible source. As I understand it, most people that contract Valley Fever (from breathing in a certain fugal spore churned out of desert soils) never even know it because they have zero symptoms. Your body deals with it on its own like so many other things floating around in the air any you're none the wiser. Some smaller percentage get flu-like symptoms for a few weeks. And some tiny percentage that contract Valley Fever take many many months to recover and require medical treatment.

I figure I've breathed in enough desert dust through the years that if I was going to contract it AND I was one of the few that can't naturally defeat it without medical care, it would have already happened. Maybe that's naive, I don't know. I suppose one could wear a dust mask if Valley Fever was a concern. Actually, I don't know if that would even help but I bet it would.

Dumont looks absolutely awesome!!! Definitely on my list of places to ride some day.....Coming from Oklahoma, it will be a long haul, but definately worth it.
