Winter started off with a blast here in the Northland. Riding motorcycles and fall conditions on the mountain bike trails on a Sunday. Monday, wake up to fresh snow and mid 20 temperatures.

 

I have had a bunch of riding, motorcycles and mountain bikes in the past few months. Going to start back out with the current adventures and flash back to some of the good times that have occurred.

 The biggest bicycle news is the addition of a new Fat Tire bicycle in my stable. I have been riding a Pugsley the past year. The new Fat Tire bike is a "LAMERE Cycles", this is a 5" tire bike that is in the low-twenties weight class. I'll have more write ups and adventures on this new bike.    

 Good day on the bikes, Jeff Hall is also involved with the LAMERE Cycles bikes. He is LAMERE Cycles sponsored rider and is going to be racing a light-weight version in some of the premier winter fat tire mountain bike races. 

 Jeff Hall with Buzzy LaMere on an early winter bike testing ride. These LAMERE Cycles rock!! This is going to be a good adventure.

Night Rides and the Winter Campfire

 Night rides along the Minnesota River in the winter are going to a weekly adventure. Add a fire along the trail to light up the night and it is a good time. 

 It has been a blast to have this early season snow and cold to get out on the bikes.

Cheers!!

Ride on!

Weaving Among the Maze of Trees Along the Minnesota River Bottoms

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!!
