Linda....... Your only just starting to hate sugar sand? LOL I have hated it for a long time now My 2 friends that have been riding trails with me have went AWOL for about a week now. So haven't been on any trails.
Have you guys rode any of the trails in Paynes Prairie Preserve State Park on 441 South of Gainesville. I rode there a few years ago and there was some nice trails. I could have continued on the trail right down into the Preserve but didn't because I was by myself. NO shade in the preserve part though if you do go ride it. At the time there was one patch of sugar sand on the way out I KNEW i could make it through it.... NOPE.... Got half way through could NOT get un-clipped fast enough and over I went. SLOOOOW motion fall in to sugar sand. Naturally it was 100 deg out and I was covered in sweet so all of the sand STUCK to me... On the way back I just KNEW I could make it through the same spot..... NOPE.... half way through slow fall into the sugar sand again...

Cooool pictures BTW.... Makes me want to go ride all these trails you and your husband ride on.....
