Ride number three...I had a pretty good experience on some sand the last time I was out. I've watched a few YT videos for some tips. Three things I got out of it was lower tire pressure, keep the hands loose on the handlebar (let the front wheel find its way through the sand) and move your weight back as much as you can on the saddle. It seemed to work. If I'm honest though this was not the super deep sand, but several levels above packed dirt. In my head I was thinking "this is going great this looks like it goes on for miles...just what I wanted a mountain bike for."


Reality quickly set in. I had gotten around a few puddles when there was room on the side, but this was a bit much. Might have to try again when rainy season and hunting season ends in the winter.
