A few of us are going to do CABDR this Fall which has a fair amount of deep sand. Anyone know any good places to practice deep sand that are doable as a day trip from Seattle? Appreciate any help! Btw, sold my 1200GS and have a KTM 690 now and so glad I will be doing it on a lighter bike!

Unsure where to practice, perhaps in E. Washington in the high desert. A couple tips:

* Ride with your weight on the back tire, i.e. keep leaning back.
* Stay on the gas
* Refrain from using the front brake

Congrats on the 690 - I like mine SO MUCH better than my heavy 1200GSA!
