More than 100,000 bikers are expected to roll in for the 4-day event, and riding over sand is certainly not ideal.
Transportation officials said crews have already cleaned up heavy sand coverage on stretches of A1A in preparation for Biketoberfest.
They said workers are making good progress and will continue sweeping sand daily from highly-traveled roads.
Biketoberfest runs Oct. 17-20.
