Hi All

I spoke to a french guy here in Madagascar He is (very?) good rider and says that when you ride in the sand you should lean forward, basically standing on the frontweel this seems to contradict what most of you guyss say? Any ideas?

Please also give me some tips on how to learn the sand here on my own. The southof Madagascar. beach/sea sand

also rodes with 80-100km/h one second and a horrible sand thing the next. How to deal with that? The tthing is many of these roads, if not all are new to me so I can not anticipate, now I am approaching sandy stretch 7 or whatever

I do not want to fall becaue I can not afford the damage on the bike also I will be possibly hundreds or thousands of k's from medical help not to mention telephones!

thanks
BZ
