Teton Vally Fat Bike Race Coming

An announcement/repost by the Professor. This looks like an awesome opportunity. It should keep many of us motivated to ride hard through the Winter. http://fatpursuit.blogspot.com/  

Bennie Creek Cut-off Trail– Payson Canyon

A ride report by the Doc. Barreling down the mountainside on the Bennie Creek Cut-Off Trail is such a fun romp that I figured it would fit into my already overbooked Saturday schedule. One of the things I enjoy most about my new Fat Bike is that almost by design, I ain’t going to win […]

San Rafael Swell: Good Water Canyon Rim Ride

A ride report by the Professor. I’m cautious about how I use the word “epic.” The Little Grand Canyon of the San Rafael Swell is truly epic scenery. Friday afternoon my 16 year old son, Finn and I, drove the 125 miles down to the Wedge Overlook in the San Rafael Swell Recreation Area. I […]

It will be interesting to see how this bike compares with the rest of the fat bikes out there. http://fat-bike.com/2013/11/iceman-expo-photos-specializeds-new-ground-control-tire/

A Fat Bike (and a not fat bike) Desert Ride

A repost by the Professor. This is a nice report of a ride near Canyonlands National Park in Utah by Mike Curiak (the guy who owned that amazing Moots expedition fat bike). He is a fine photographer and tells his stories mostly through the camera. I like that. This is some beautiful country. Check out […]

An Amazing Expedition Fat Bike

A repost by the Professor. A few weeks ago I saw this post online. What a gorgeous and amazing expedition fat bike. http://www.dirtragmag.com/webrag/sale-possibly-most-amazing-fat-bike-ever Tonight I checked out Jill Homer’s blog, and low and behold, the bike has been sold. Check out her post here. http://arcticglass.blogspot.com/2013/10/impulse.html This is the kind of bike that fuels dreams of […]
