Can you say a Near Miss???

Jenna cutting it close in Grand Rapids!!!!
Oh SHIT SHIT was crossing my mind!! 
She made it just fine, giggling all the way!! 
Kids??!!??!!!!
Lol
For her 1st time on single track, she killed it!! Especially on "The Plantation" portion of the Legion Trails in Grand Rapids, Mn. Even Zack proclaimed "Jenna you're rocking this section!!"
Then she got tired towards the midway point, and the proverbial wheels feel off. 
Then it was "Daddy I've had enough!!"
So we ditched to the ski trails, and meet Mom in the parking lot!! 
I've got plenty more pictures on the camera, which I'll get to at a later date.




Z goofing!!

Duluth Fat Bike Tour

COGGS - Duluth Fat Bike Tour - Saturday August 24th

COGGS (the local Duluth mountain bike club) will be hosting a crosstown adventure fatbike ride on Saturday August 24th. The ride is free to everyone, member or not. The route will take us from Lester Park on the east side of town and finish at Mont du Lac on the west side.

You are responsible for transportation back to Lester Park so buddy up.

Mont du Lac has a bar and grill where we can hang out and rehydrate and get post ride nourishment. Along the way we will ride most of the COGGS single track and a bunch of unmapped trails including the Big Kahuna, the power lines, and a few deer trails. The route is sure to include ripping fast single track, super technical trails, creek crossings, hike-a-bike sections, and super steep downhills. 


We will start at Lester Park in the main parking lot at 10:00AM and start the ride soon after. The ride will be in the 50 mile range so plan accordingly with food, water, spare tubes, etc. 


We will plan on having different paced groups to keep things moving along smoothly.
