More of a workout than it looks. I have just enough room in my shop for a figure 8. Hip left, hip right, hip left, hip right….
We expected absolute shit, but it was awesome out there today. The snow is thin enough that the slush wasn't really a factor, except for a few small spots. Got to ride down some of the sweet downhill singletracks.
What wasnt great was my bars rolling back at the bottom of a hill. I guess i didnt tighten the stem enough, after moving the brakes around this morning.

Man, riding a ridged fat bike on fast rooty trails really beats the crap out of my hands. 
Trails are pretty wet, with the occasional ice patch.
Go figure, some horses have gone down a few single track trails and really messed them up.
Also got to watch this large owl run down the trail and then fly away. Pretty cool.

Which rail trail is this? Lower reaches of the Bruce Freeman?
Rail trail moving along...
MCRT. It goes from the city all the way out through hudson toward Marlboro or other points west. They’re making incredible progress, and the state it paying for it
Oh damn, Boston to Northampton. Thats awesome. I'll have to check it out some day. Makes me wish they'd extend the Nashua River rail trail that far south so I could easily link up. That might make owning a road bike feel worth it.
It is still very much in the works. They've done incredible work clearing out the old railway, but they still need to finish the bridges, bury the cable, then pave the whole thing. They're doing it in batches now that my stupid town stopped fighting it so hard. Eventually you'll be able to ride it from end to end, stopping in Belmont or Cambridge, I think. Right now I use part of it for my commute, from Wayland to Weston, do a little urbex, then back on it in waltham.
Looks more GRVL bike friendly than road
Yesterday white rims were hilarious.
This morning I opened the garage door and felt sad, what a hideous pair of wheels, hahaha!

I didn't even notice the white rims, those reflectors were all I could see.
Congorats on the dropper! Not very hack of you.
Just ride through some mud or dog poo, that'll colour the rims.
The Tranz-X or whatever that came with the Torrent is smoother and better, but I already owned this. Other bike has the current Magura E-dropper, it's more shit again, but I think mine had some swarf in it from the factory.
It will get the Magura MT7s off my other bike when the TRP stuff comes.
