Great advice on this board. I will try some drills at the glider port parking lot first. Better get a good technique to pick up the bike. I'll try to save up for some more aggressive rubber too. I can't believe how friggin expensive motorcycle tires are especially given their short wear life compared to car tires. Guess as long as guys are willing to pay for it. I'll probably bypass the most difficult trails for now, so I will meet you guys on the other side of Santa Isabel TT, Bee Canyon, and Grape vine.

I've signed up for the weekend. I'd just like to know your recommendation as to which trails are sandy. I'm a new rider and admittedly lack the experience to enjoy the sandy trails on a big bike. I see the colored map, but can't tell which ones are sandy. The Grapevine almost hung me last time. It would probably be smart to bypass the difficult trails given my level of experience, my R1150GS, and the Tourances I'm running.
