Anybody Fat Biking?

As in ‘using a fat bike’, not as in.... well, you get my drift!

So last year when the snow wasn’t prime for skiing I broke down and got a used Surly Moonlander. I took it out about 10 times, skiing improved and I haven’t used it since. But serious skiing hasn’t started here yet and the trails are pretty packed - and I bought fenders since getting snow kicked up in my face wasn’t on my ‘good times’ list - which means I’m going to get out and ride it on the lower angle mountain bike trails around here. I learned a valuable lesson last year about going off trail (don’t do it!).

Maybe I’ll even ride up Mt. Crowe instead of snow shoeing up like I did Friday.


Crowe Summit 2150 m.
Or maybe I’ll just ride around on the trails on the slopes below!

Anybody else into Fat biking? I’m find getting the right clothing combo the biggest challenge.
