You ever try to ride a bike in a creekbed? It’s not a good idea.
If you have tried it, or expect to soon, you let us hear the story, okay?
But don’t talk about the sound that your ankle made during the worst part of the tale. I get the newbie-jeebies.
“Everyone wants a piece of the action.”
Sweet!
I crossed a creek, about that size, in a car one time.
I used to ride in the riverbed of the Tama River in Japan. It wasn’t near as bad as riding in a creekbed.
Creekbed: wet and coarse sandy so you just sort of sink and get incredibly soggy… Wet and fine silt muddy, you glue onto as you sink in and you’re probably going to stay there… Dry and coarse sandy so you still will sink in and disappear… Dry and fine silt, so it has taken on sculptured concrete notes. You are also at the mercy of whatever’s cemented into that mess. Worse than asphalt in middle of summer with stuff stuck in it (days of glass bottles this was REAL)… hm.
Greg … you mean the “snap!” or the “pop” that my ankle makes, when I just step slightly off kilter on a sidewalk edge?
Be considerate and let others complain. It’s competition etiquette and just good manners.xD
Florida creeks have quicksand. I barely lived through the experience.
