Any tire/tread preference for racing sand? Seems I have read that file tread pattern works particulrly well in sand, anyone find this true?
At a race I did last season with a combine masters men and elite womens pack, they started us by going through about 50 yards of dry/loose beach sand. I can ride sand fairly compentently so clipped in, got a fast start and went for the holeshot to get a good line through the sand. I was leading all the other master men 1/2 way throught the sand section when suddenly 3 of the top women who had been smart enough NOT to try riding the sand from a dead stop came running past me shouldering their bikes. Lesson learned!
