What a great day! Out on my new fat bike and straight to the road that defeated me.
I ended up at the same spot where some truck with chains had given up.


Beyond this spot looked challenging.


But I got through. Those big fat 4.5 vee snowshoe tires worked great at the temp which was about 0C. Lots of grip.
I rode for a while until I got to this huge pile of snow pushed up in the middle of the road. I could only assume that beyond it was the forbidden zone. I played around here for a bit.




Definitely the forbidden zone. Miles of deep drifted road. But the big fat tires just chewed through and floated right over.

On the way back I played around on these pointy hard drifts. Good fun. I was pretty tired at this point and it was about the 2 hour mark. Even though you are floating on top it takes some power to push a fat bike. I had a great workout. This is the way to prepare for the upcoming road race season. I was running about 8 psi back and 6 psi front.



Lots of fun. Fat bikes are awesome. I waited to long to buy one.
