Remember when you made fun of fat tires? No? Well, the fat tire crowd does. Those two people are having a real good laugh right now. Hamilton Loop is a perpetual slog through endless sand. It's fun and ridable...until it isn't. For some, that will be the whole loop; others, 20 yards give or take. One thing's for sure, you'll stop complaining about the rocks and start complaining about the sand.
Pro tip: Stop complaining. You're outside. It's beautiful. Come back with a lawn chair, stick your toes in the sand, and watch the sunset over the lake.
