So much for the wind curse


so i got my new buggy last week, and my first chance to use in was on sunday... i was shocked to see that the winds were going to be around 30 mph!!!

arriving at the beach, the scene was surreal... there was so much sand blowing so fiercely across the beach that you could hardly see the beach for the rivulets of sand...

i set up and set about the craziest buggyin that i have ever done... set a new record of 46.9 immediately, and didnt push it any further... i went down to break 45, and did so within a couple of minutes... if i wanted to, and had the hooj balls to try, i am sure i could have broken 50, and maybe even 60...

perhaps next time... although it is rare for winds like that...

big thanks to tracktrob for getting me that beautiful buggy... i love it

hope you all get blessed with some wind soon, and the time to use it :)

Kind of cool to see the buggy coming out of that compact a car. ;)

i was surprised at how well it fit also...

the axle is the perfect width, the body takes up half the width of the hatch area, the buggy seat holds the tires, and i am still trying to figure out the downtube... my next trip, i will leave it attached, but all the way slid in and see if it fits... there is still plenty of room for kites and even camping gear and ice chest!
