Circa 1999 I was living in Torrance, CA. I used to ride past the Del Amo mall to the beach, and head north on the strand up to the power plant at El Segundo and turn around and head back. The strand is a concrete strip along the beach that is often covered in sand here and there. I hit a patch of it in a tight 90 degree corner and was down on the ground before I knew what happened. Cracked my helmet and tweaked my neck. I jumped up and got back on the bike like nothing happened, but was sore for a very long time.
