Super Sandy

We thought Lakeland would be a great place to try out my new bike. When we got there....we saw lots of other kids. That was cool, you don't see many kids out on the trails. Anyway, after getting geared up, we hit the trails. It was going good until we got to Sprinkler Hill. And from then on, it was nothing but, SAND, SAND, and more SAND. On one of the previous comments, someone wanted to know about Duro Tires. This is what I know about them so far.... They are not as beefy as my old Kenda tires, so they don't do well in sand. However, they work awesome on the flats. That's all I know for now, we decided to leave Lakeland after only 4 miles.



Still can't make it up. Next time, I will try going over the root instead of around it! At least my Dad will be there to catch me if I fall.

Here's a little Math problem for you. After leaving Lakeland, we were on our way to Alafia. My Dad noticed that we needed gas, pulled into the gas station and realized no debit card. Oh No, only $10.00 in cash and some quarters. What should we do?? Alafia costs $4.00 which doesn't leave that much for gas. We can't go home, we have only ridden 4 miles today. Problem solved: not enough money+no gas= Morris Bridge. ($8.00 cash+ $2.00 quarters for gas, $2.00 for Morris Bridge. I wasn't excited about going to Morris Bridge, but we ended up having a great ride!
