Went up and played in some ridiculous amount of powder on the surly moonlander today but still had a blast

Although this was just goofing around, when I ride on the groomed snowmobile and nordic trails its like riding on asphalt

One day bikes will rule the galaxy!

Thanks mang....my legs have been screaming since the snow has fallen. It is going to cool to compare my last garmin data from the road bike to the new data I put down in the spring.

Hmm, seems more like a foot of snow where it was supposed to be 3 claimed. Everyone has these bikes up here, and I'll have one too, but they don't work in some conditions, like deep fresh snow, some crust situations, etc. They do work great if it's gotten just a little hard, sun baked, if it's been packed down just a bit, chunky snow, etc. The fat bikes work great up here because a lot of trails are packed down just a bit, and any normal bike would sink right through, even on a semi-packed surface. They aren't using them for trailblazing as much as you'd think.

I rode off the side of the road into the ditch, out here we have no shoulders so it drops off a couple feet right at the fog line. When I got off the pedals I sank to my nuts.

I normally ride on groomed trails and two tracks but I was just goofing around today. I was just really trying to test the best tire psi for the worst conditions possible. I have been able to blaze some pretty deep powder if I have enough of an incline and enough forward momentum.

Well, you literally need one of those to ride around on just the sidewalks here in the winter! Super-chunk.

That bike looks fun as hell! You should build a jump up to that log. If you crash on the landing then it wont hurt as much cause of all the snow

 

[gonefirefightin]

I am going to shuttle some of the nordic trails and get some video next week

That's one way to get over a tree. But no helmet? Isn't that living on the edge? And what do you use for chain lube in conditions like that?????

How did y'all survive childhood?

But no helmet?

He has a steel plate or 3 in there somewhere. He needs to upgrade to titanium, but he spends all his money on fat bikes.

Nice work, bro. That kicks ass.

 

[TheTruth]

Awesome! You crushed it! Especially that massive bunny hop.

 

[Da Peach]

Looks like some silly fun
