2nd ride out on the fatty. Getting things dialed in. This thing is a blast to ride! Snow conditions were great and this was the only dirt around. I’m thinking I can get near 30 miles and 4K ft elevation gain once I get the legs back.
played on some new fat bike trails today. good times. in the summer there is a series of jumps and banks. played on them a bit tonight
if you look closely at the line i’m taking you’ll guess what happens next …
yep. hit the soft stuff!! 🤣

SEND IT! LOL, good stuff, my first snow ride a few weeks back was rough and I went down a dozen times going off the hard pack trail into 3+ feet of snow. Kicked my ass by end of day but I was laughing my ass off the whole way. Not sure I have many options to launch on the fresh snow but sure will try if I find one!
Love week day rides. This lot is usually 100+ cars and overflowing. Conditions getting better so I may start trying to do 20+ miles and 3000k elevation gain!
Hikes so I’m limited @2 hrs.

Not much of a Mtn biker and don’t have a fat tired bike, so nice to be out of the Tahoe Basin for a bit while the snow starts to melt.
Our first Wednesday Nighter of the 2023 season yesterday, year 14 for this shop ride. Two of us in the photo have been on this ride for that long.
Left the fatty at home to take the caddy ( maybe more like Range Rover but doesn’t sound as good).
So lucky to go from 4’ + snow to completely dry trail within 1/2 hour each direction same day if I chose to.

And back to the snow. Stopped in Estes after for the best cobb salad and DIPA ever after. Took a branch in they eye and got a flat so this is the best I could do. Guess I could post the picture of the hole in my eye instead.
Missed the entertainment of "frozen dead guy". Maybe next year...
