Message: [QUOTE="Michelle, post: 528033, member: 16598"] You win this one Bbbom ;) Sounds like you gals had an awesome weekend. My ride was okay but am not thrilled with me. Came across a funny uphill, it was lumpy & slippery (grass) but the best place to be was on the seat. The rear had no traction standing up, so I just sat (kept standing up & working out it was wrong, so would sit again). Oh, one good thing (a first) - going up one uphill Henk couldn't keep up with me, but blames his rear tyre for that (no traction). I have to admit I did have a better rear tyre on the bike than he did (lol, had to change the wording for that one). FC22, it's funny how you always hear to keep your weight to the back on sand. If you've ever seen Time to Ride, can you remember how the desert racers stand? If you can watch it again, look closely. They're right up the front, virtually hanging over the bars. I thought that was wierd, but maybe it's with the speed they're going? Oh, with loose, sandy downhills, don't use the front brake, or not much anyway - you'll go down (I still use them slightly, but more the rear and am always prepared to let go, if I get enough warning - sometimes you do, depends on the downhill).
