Two Wheel Blogs

I took my monkey out on the beach today.

If you ever get the chance to take yours out in the sand I highly encourage it. Not that you'll get a good workout from it; and not that you'll even have a good time of it. You'll just want to give it a try to see how incredibly difficult it can be. I think I was able to ride about 50 feet in one stretch. Nearly all other attempts met with miserable failure almost immediately. And getting started ... let's just say you won't be clipping in and starting right up.

I thought I'd be smart and get down closer to the water where the sand should be a little more firm. Yeah, that kind of works in a sort of walking the tightrope kind of way. Get too close to the water and it was like riding in quicksand. Too far away and it's dry. What happened? I got too close to the water and buried the wheel up to the spokes an inch or so and got splashed.
