Minnesota North Woods Mountain/Swamp Biking

CLICK ON PICTURE TO ENLARGE!!

The first section of the fire road was washed out. With a mountain bike it just means a bit of hike a bike action.

 A bit of over-flow swamp.

 A larger bit of over-flow swamp. 

 I stayed in the right lane because of the high speed fire road speed limit. Good humor to see a speed limit sign 3 miles deep in the woods.

 Hiking through another swamp.

Back at the truck after a good day of north woods adventure mountain biking.

Riding the Salsa Down by the River

I really like riding my old school rigid mountain bike. The big difference from old time mountain biking is the 29 inch wheels that I'm rolling on. With no shocks I tend to pick the best line to roll through the rough stuff...picking a good line on the trail as we used to say.

Down by the river...

A week ago the river was up to these trees.

A little dirt on the tires...

A Bit of Mountain Biking, River Riding & Buggering this Week

CLICK ON PICTURES TO ENLARGE!!

It was great to get out in the woods and wind through the singletrack.

 Nine inches of rain in the past 2 weeks pushed the Mississippi River over it's banks.

 Took the little man on a bugger ride down by the river. We got caught in a rainstorm on the way back to the truck. Zippered the clear plastic cover over the Burley and put on my rainsuit and had a little adventure that day.

 A bit of lunch down by the river.

The little man caught a nap in the Burley during the rainstorm on the hike back...

GOOD TIMES!!
