Fat Tire Mountain Biking the Minnesota River Trail in Early December 2013 / Winter's Coming



CLICK ON PICTURE FOR VIDEO!!
A couple years back when we were beginning this Fat Bike experience. Meeting Jeff Hall down by the Minnesota River in 2013 and watching him take his first Fat Bike rides. Fast forward to 2016 and he is the Man to beat anytime he toes the line at a Winter Fat Bike Race. Fastest Fat Tire Man in the Midwest...

Firing Up The Fat Tire Bikes / Night Ride Along da Minnesota River Trail

 CLICK ON PICTURES TO ENLARGE!!
A winter night bike ride along the river is as good as it gets...the fresh snow is pure and the reflection give the trees ghostly images.
  This was a night of new snow during the day and a great time to spend, not only time on the bikes, but around a campfire. With the temperature hovering about 7 degrees, the warmth of the fire felt inviting.




Riding around the campfire...Ride on!

Best Winter Ever / Cold & Snow / Fat Tire Surly

 CLICK ON PICTURES TO ENLARGE!!
Good ride down along the Minnesota River on a beautiful evening. Started out in the late afternoon and rode into the dark. The snow conditions were very good and the temps were about 5 degrees at the start and dropped to about -2 degrees after 2 hours on the trails. We were treated to a moonlight ride back to the truck.





 The moon came out bright on the ride back and the Coyotes started their chorus of howling. It always adds to the adventure of being out and sharing a cold winter night with the sounds of the night.

Ride On!!
Moon over the Fat Tire...
