Salsa Mukluk 2 – Mid-Term Review
It seems in some ways like I’ve had this bike forever, but yet, the first time it hit the trail was early December, just six months ago. The Mukluk 2 somehow has become my defacto mountain bike. I’ve come to believe that this fat bike is what all other mountain bikes, really want to be […]
PWC – Event Report – 2012
Our entire den of pug-scouts from troop 666 in Milwaukee converged on Decorah, Iowa for the PWC (Pugsley World Championships).

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 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 […]
Getting Fat in Ohio ~ Field Report by DJ
Fatbikes: 2 Mukluks 1 ti’ Fatback 1 9:Zero:7 2 Pugsleys: the Fugsley, and Don’s DUC32 Pugs Stats: December 11, 2011 19.34 miles 2:23 ride time (8.1 mph average pace) 2270ft vertical You’d think it would be a singletrack traffic jam on a day like this: sunny, cold—but not too cold, with the saturated ground nicely […]
First Ride-Mukluk 2
I doubt I could have picked a better day to really dive into the Fat Bike scene- 27 degrees, no wind, 2-3 inches of snow, some virgin singletrack, some packed ski trail, all the while basking under a clear morning sky at my favorite trail-Levis Mound. Oh, and atop a brand spankin new Salsa Mukluk […]
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, […]
