Frozen Water Ride
With each passing ride, I discover why I’m loving this bike so much…it takes me places I normally couldn’t explore. The lack of snow this “winter” has been a blessing and curse in many ways. I am a cross country skier and if a snow-less December had happened in previous years (it has) I’d be […]
Mukluk Ride in New York!
Alex sent in this ride report from New York, Thanks, Alex! Commence report now: Hit the great 909 Pleasant Valley, NY on the Mukluk 2 Sunday. It was my first real ride on her. The trails are looking great! Super effort by everyone involved in the clean up. We had bad snow damage early October. […]
Mukluk 2 Second Ride
As luck (and Mother Nature) would have it, nearly all the beautiful snow we had a week ago, had withered away from three days of incessant rain. Not that I really needed snow to ride the Mukluk, now named Fatty Bo Batty, but it’s at least a feature of enjoying these fat bikes. Instead, and […]

I loved the fresh snow stacked up on the concrete rainbow.” Feel free to download it and use it as your own wallpaper. Just click on the image to […]
The 4 S’s of Fat – Sand, Snow, Singletrack and Smiles!
My journey into Fat-Bike love began innocently enough. It was born from my hatred of putting my bike on a trainer and “riding” it during the Winter months. A bike trainer is the only device that can turn something as fun as riding a bike into a boring and torturous session of going nowhere. Then, […]
