Where only a net weight spec is offered, I estimate wet weight as follows:
258 pounds net + (6.1 pounds/gallon * 2.3 gallons) + ~3 pounds fluids etc. ~= 275 pounds wet
Riding 'on the beach' is really tough going ... on two wheels; I don't see many Y.T. videos with bikes riding on the beach!  In Florida heat + humidity, I imagine that riding in beach-like conditions would REALLY wring one out?  Fun? ... maybe not?  |
The sand sucks, so does the heat and humidity. Florida really sucks as a whole. You get used to riding the sand after a while but it's always boring and tiring. We would veer off the sandy main paths into the forest as soon as we could, but it's impossible to avoid the sand. The forest also has shade against the sun in the summer, which helps just a bit.
