Ladies On Two Wheels

Had my first real sand ride today. I've hit really short sections of shallow sand before but today I rode "Sandridge Road". Very appropriately named! That was freaky scary. I was exhausted by the time I hitregular dirt. I kept repeating bars level, weight back, soft hands, stay on the gas, over and over again. I'm not sure I ever want to ride that road again but mentor neighbor good friend Don says I need to until I get comfortable with it. He's a slave driver! I keep thinking "Colorado in July " but I don't want to break any bones getting ready for it...

I love sand! (On a dirtbike). What kind of bike were you on??? It would be less fun on a big, heavy bike I'd think. On a dirtbike, the sliding around is a hoot. [img][/img]
What are you doing in Colorado?? Dirt trails??

I'm riding Rocky my 2009 super Sherpa kl250. Small light weight very maneuverable. It was a LOT of sand!

The Colorado trip will be a little of every thing. We're headed to South Fork then wandering all around from there. We'll have at least 2 small dual sport bikes and a 4 wheeler to share. Husband plans on fishing and 4wheeling. My brother, a friend of his, Don (neighbor mentor good friend) and myself will share the bikes.

I plan on leaving ahead of everyone else and riding as far as I can then meeting up to ride (or trailer) my bike the rest of the way. I'll keep you posted about how goes h

That sounds amazing!! I know last week it was still snowing up in the mountains (crazy right?), but July is glorious. You're going to have a blast.

We've hit snow around Vail in August. But, I agree with TA, you're going to have a great time.

Mammaw Suze, if you find yourself traversing the Des Moines area, I've got a room and garage space if you need it.

Thanks Rogue but I'm planning on traveling south this trip. Maybe next time.

Sand??!! Ugh S.A.N.D. sssshhhh sand. Sand? Where? Who picked sand? Why?
Thankfully Ohio roads don't have sand, I would have to stop riding.
