About 40 years ago (can't believe I just typed that), I hit some sand in a curve at the bottom of a hill. Next thing I knew I was in ditch, lying right at the base of a barbed wire fence.
And on my local rail trail someone, in their infinite wisdom, decided to patch a washed out section of the trail with 2"-3" of sand over about a 150 yard section. I now ride about 10 yards into it before my wheels stop turning, after which I push my bike.
