I have spent lots of time at the Silver Lake Sand dunes in Michigain and even more time at my current dunes, the Saint Anthony sand dunes in Idaho. Sand dunes are a shocker for even the best rider. The big thing is use a stablizer and expect a lot of shake. The faster you go through the sand the less the trail rides you. It sucks you power so keep it on the top end. I dont know exactly what kind of sand you are expecting but it will be a good race. Get a new tire that has a paddle effect. Any good mud tire will work.
Just hit it hard. Good luck!!
