Seems like a bit late in the year to have sand problems! Needs sweeping up or blowing away by now.----- Anyway, I guess all is well that ends well?

yeah just found out the family on the next block just had an above ground pool put in. I guess that's where the sand came from.

All in all it was a kick, huh?
I mean what a rush, and cost you nothing!
Looking back someday, you should have to pay, like a carnival ride or something for such a rush!
I hit a spot of gravel last week, big deal, 12" diameter tops.
Thought for a sec, ****, going down.
Yes, a rush.
Another reason we ride!
Checked shorts, no damage done.
