Flatlander at the Fat Pursuit
This is a nice three part post by Christopher Tassava of Minnesota of the Fat Pursuit 200K fat bike race. He was the 7th place finisher at the Arrowhead 135 earlier this year and rode a great race in Idaho. http://salsacycles.com/culture/a_flatlander_takes_on_jayps_backyard_fat_pursuit_part_one http://salsacycles.com/culture/flatlander_at_the_fat_pursuit_part_two http://salsacycles.com/culture/flatlander_at_the_fat_pursuit_part_three
Good-bye snow, hello dirt
Todays ride had a little bit of everything—snow, mud, dirt, asphalt, gravel, grass, rocks, fisherman’s trail, and a railroad, 3,300 feet 0f climbing, 5,000 of descending and section of 17% grade climbing. It was a reminder that Winter is fading and Spring is here. I wanted to get one last long snow ride in before […]
Fat Pursuit 60K Race Report: The view from the back
Spoiler alert: I didn’t win. But I didn’t get last place either. Don’t trust the weather report. I’ve been monitoring the weather in Island Park for the past week. Most all the reports call for high twenties and low thirties with some snow. I’m expecting warm slushy conditions. I’m staying with a friend in Rexburg, […]
The Perfect Snow
Today Bullet and I rode the perfect groomed snow. In fact, it was the first time this season we have ridden on a real groomed trail with that nice, firm grooved surface. Last week I rode very difficult, sloppy, wet, deep snow, and this week was the exact opposite. It was firm, fast, and so […]
A Ride up the Mirror Lake Highway
It’s only two weeks until the 60K race I am riding up in Island Park, ID. I needed to get out for a long ride in the snow today. The problem is that we have received so much snow in the past 10 days that the avalanche hazard is extreme just about everywhere. And you […]

A report by the Professor. I was riding regularly then got the flu, which then turned into a cold. I missed two full weeks of riding. Here are a few shots from the last three or four rides. The trails have been pretty good. Though I did do a 16 mile solo ride that had […]
Hobble Creek, Right Fork
A ride report by the Professor Bullet and I wanted to do a long snow ride today so we headed up to Hobble Creek in Springville. The right fork gets a fair amount of snowmobile traffic, and it is not that steep, at least as far as Wardsworth Canyon. I rode this more than a […]
The Littlest Fat Biker
An article by the Professor Bullet and I demoed a couple fat bikes from Mad Dog Cycles and took our boys out for a fat bike ride. I originally intended to take my 17 year old son, but he started feeling ill last night and was in no shape to ride this morning. Lars, my […]
December Group Ride
Last Saturday, December 21st, the Fat Bike Brigade (minus Doc who was out of town) joined with Jake Weber of Epic Biking in Saratoga Springs (UT) for a group fat bike ride. We met at the Park and Ride at the mouth of American Fork Canyon, then carpooled up to Tibble Fork. We had nine […]
Riding in the snow is hard work!
A ride report by the Professor I managed to get out and ride twice last week. After being in Taiwan for a week, I was pretty jet-lagged out and way behind at work.Tuesday night Bullet and I went for a night ride up the Alpine Loop Road from Pine Hollow. Conditions were okay, though got […]
