I'll post this info here. <br>
Updated fatbike info...... <br>
For the winter of 2014/15 fatbikes are ***ONLY*** allowed on the north loop of the trails. </p>
<p dir="ltr">In the next few weeks myself, a skier and members of the park board and the parks and rec. Will all sit down and come up with a plan/rules that will work for all trail users...... with talk of dedicated fatbike/snowshoe/walking trails being talked about for the future. <br>
This is all part of the big picture, so you fatbikers out there....... be smart, follow IMBA'S best practice for Nordic ski trails. Be respectful and smile!!!! This is where we "the new users" can really make our mark for our future!!!!<br>
Let's show everyone involved that we're up for this!!!!!!! <br>
Pedal On!!</p>

Please Stay OFF The Trails Until Further Notice!!!!!<br>
*******<br>
THANK YOU!!!</p>
<p dir="ltr">I'm meeting soon with the Hibbing parks and recreation heads about fatbike access for 2014/15. <br>
It seems some skiers were upset at the end of last year with a biker/s tire tread on the trails. <br>
They took pictures and what not, so PLEASE STAY OFF until you've heard from me!!!! <br>
That's all I know right now, until I meet with Pete H. and Kraig S. </p>
<p dir="ltr">This is something I've already thought through after I got the go ahead for fatbikes on the city trails, and doesn't surprise me at all, that at the end of a long winter this would happen. <br>
So, again I ask for your respect and patience. <br>
Peace</p>

<div dir="ltr">
Things are firming up nicely. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
The route does have some pretty good wet spots. With that said we were able to ride 95% of it with out dismounting; around the edges of said wet areas are firm and very rideable. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
If the cooler weather shows itself, we'll be able to play on frozen ponds and mining pits "lakes."</div>
<div dir="ltr">
With pit decents we'll be right around the 25-30 mile mark. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
There'll be plenty of opportunities for picture taking and BSing, so plan accordingly. Lol</div>

During that time I got out for my 1st scouting ride. <br>
For those of you that attended last year, the 1st section stays the same minus the big hill climb; and a tweak here and there. After that it's all new (untill our 1st pit decent), and dare I say some pretty cool through the woods pedaling.... that should make even the hardest to impress, impressed.</p>
<p dir="ltr">After that I'm leaving you all in the dark, just because it'll be onward to burgers and adult beverages. ;)</p>
<p dir="ltr">I had a total milage of 22 and change, without decent into any pits.<br>
I figure at least 3 more "scouting" rides to dial it in just right, and I'm hoping for some cooler temps to blow our way between now and ride day. <br>
I'll post some teaser photos of my upcoming rides. <br>
Peace<br></p>

The Heck of The North<br>
Is just over a week away, and yet again I have that nervousness; did I pedal enough over the past few months?<br>
Am I a glutton for punishment by pedaling my Pugsley??? Yeah, I guess I am, but that's how I roll.<br>
I find 2nd guessing myself as good therapy, and usually means I'm ready. We'll see!<br>
It will be interesting seeing 400 like minded souls. Especially after doing the inaugural Heck in '09.<br>
My buddy Brian had to pull out because of hip issues, so it looks like I'll have to make sure the ipod is fully charged!</div>
