I really don’t like a lot of sand – it doesn’t go well with heavy bikes.
This happened when there was a nasty tree coming up on the left (the left hand grey box would have hit it), and I didn’t want to attempt to cross the soft center. I braked and fell in front of said tree.
Adam also had trouble here, and ended up shoulder charging the tree. The tree won, though Adam did stay upright.
