Weaving Among the Maze of Trees Along the Minnesota River Bottoms

 CLICK ON PICTURES TO ENLARGE!!
Ideal conditions on the Minnesota River Trail this afternoon. I framed this Canada Goose with a Beaver chewed tree along a backwater pond.

The Pugsley is a blast to weave along the trail with the massive tires that grip the corners and float thru the sand. It doesn't get much better than this on a bike. I swapped my front tire for a 4.8 Surly Bud. I am running a 3.8 Surly Nate on the rear. This set-up will give me more flotation.

 This is the log that is a crossing feature over the creek, with the spring melt it is partially submerged. Today this was the turn-around point, so no need to attempt to cross.




This is a photo showing the size difference between a 4" mountain bike tire and a 5" tire. Both are mounted on Marge Lite, 65mm rims.

Ride On!!
