I’m not sure what happened, but my Mukluk 3 review disappeared off my blog, so I had to literally rewrite it. You can find the new version at http://dirtstories.blogspot.com/2012/01/new-improved-salsa-mukluk-3-review.html
Enjoy, and sorry for the confusion. I’m still not sure what happened. It happened over a weekend while I was away, so I’m trying to figure it out…
Cheers,
MG
This looks like a lot of (mad) fun! We should try this in the UK. If only we had enough snow. Plenty of rain, though. Those fat tyres look just the thing for the snow.
