When I got there I found the snow had drifted and made it pretty much impossible to reach the top level of the parking ramp. I gave it the old college try and took several runnung starts at it but was only able to make it about 20 feet through the foot deep snow. So, as I was leaving the parking ramp, I noticed a bit of snow that had blown in the side of the lower levels of the ramp and as I was descending I swerved and rode through the snow. I am not sure if I said it out loud, but, I was screaming "WEEEEEE" inside. I had not had that much fun on a bike in many years. <br /><br />Like you said, back when I first realised I could go anywhere. I absolutly love my fat tire bike. It may not be the best bike for hilly rides, but, it is easy enough to plan out a route that is not to hilly.Some guy on a bikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15388580138799253557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32708898.post-87444359665390848542011-07-13T17:18:21.164-05:002011-07-13T17:18:21.164-05:00Great post.

It puts a big smile on my face (and sometimes little giggles come out of my throat)every time I ride it. <br /><br />A Pugsley has a wonderful way of expanding the way you ride and the way you think about riding. It opens a whole new world of bike riding you didn't even know existed. <br /><br />Have lots of fun.Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09090802854306112252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32708898.post-64056022839835434992011-07-02T22:09:40.663-05:002011-07-02T22:09:40.663-05:00Congratulations!

We've had a ball just turning the wheel in any direction we want to go and going there.<br /><br />Some of my biggest frustrations have been seeing some prime land (ala Murphy Hanrehan/Hennepin Cty Parks) posted no bikes. :-( I get the issues with startling horses, but damn. <br /><br />And, we need to find out about rail right-of-way -- there's a perfect rail line through swampland west of 169 just south of Cedar Lake Rd, but there's nuthin' around it, totally exposed. You know me, I was sure someone would report us. But like you said, people are crawling all around the rail lines in town.<br /><br />Hey, we'd be happy to show you some of the trails we've found in the woods either side of the Cedar Lake trail. Email us up and we'll do some reconnaissance sometime.<br /><br />One more thing. Go to MTBR forums and find the Fat Bikes forum. Look for the Daily Fatbike pic thread or the beach/sand pic thread. You'll see there's a whole 'nother world out there. I'm particularly jealous of those who live in Scotland -- by law they're allowed to ride ANYWHERE, trail or no trail (damned city, anyway). It's my new dream destination.The Old Baghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08102309231670261719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32708898.post-3978658390899076302011-07-02T09:31:46.527-05:002011-07-02T09:31:46.527-05:00Good for Sir Yam!!!!

I sure could ...Wait, did I write this on your blog? I sure could have since getting my fatbike and finding out exactly what you have written. <br /><br />Since getting our Fatbacks, we ride everywhere but started our explorations by looking for the little deer paths that sprout up everywhere off the sides of trails like the Cedar Lake Trail where there is a parallel universe of little hiking trails used by deer and locals alike. And train tracks? Oh my yes though we generally ride the gravel along side not between the rails. Don't rule out any of the formal mountain bike trails either; fully rigid, full suspension in the same bike is the magic of riding fat.WheelDancerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15219805760534549996noreply@blogger.com
