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 […]

Specialized Fatboy
A repost by the Professor. Check out some photos of the new Specialized Fatboy (scroll down), and look at those 26 X 4.6″ Ground Control Tires! It will be interesting to see how this bike compares with the rest of the fat bikes out there. Iceman Expo – Photos – Specialized’s New Ground Control Tire
A Fat Bike (and a not fat bike) Desert Ride

Feet and winter cycling I spend quite a bit of time outdoors in the winter, ice climbing, back country skiing, snow shoeing, camping, hiking, and so on. I agree with Jill Homer that a soft flexible […]
Touring on a fat bike
A repost by the Professor. Here is an excellent and inspiring post on long distance touring on a Surly Pugsley. Joe Cruz says fat bikes are slower and heavier, but “they’re . . . an invitation to explore, to move a little more deliberately and confidently than one sometimes does, and to never view any part […]
More on keeping warm in the winter
A repost by the Professor. The All Season Cyclist is currently doing a series of posts on staying warm cycling through the winter. He has articles on a variety of topics, such as keeping your head, feet, and hands warm. He has a great deal of experience winter riding and has probably used more equipment […]
