Bit a cork sand

[bobdonny]

Decided to take a check out a local dive spot to see what way the viz was ended up about 5 hours on a few lovely east cork country roads and sand. Havent been in loose sand in over 20 years... I've forgotton it all didnt fall (but came close) and only got stuck the once.

Fab day out and while the seat height is fine... I was fair numb at the end of it... few more things to do to the bike, will need a few more shakedowns

cheers lads, why is that richie? Locals or local bylaw?
Usually its the triggerfish that attract me to allihies, not the beaches

You won't be worried about your bike rotting away with the sea-salt then?

Ireland's only man made beach so sand is different and you get bogged down

Gotcha... sounds interesting!

It got a thorough hot soapy clean afterwards.
Spend any minute I have above or below the sea so I know all about salt corrosion!
