FatBiker Heaven
April 19th 2013 15.5" of snow fell on Hibbing, Mn. over night.
Our street was not plowed....... Not a problem...... Drop PSI and I was off.
The heaviness of the snowfall left a nice base and pedaling took some effort, but it was most enjoyable!!
School was cancelled, so traffic was light, and the plow boys were out in force.
I was good to go after getting off our unplowed street.
What plow rows I did come across the big boy tires crawled up and over with ease!!
After 6 plus years ride my Pugs day after day...... this rig still amazes me!!!
The best two wheeled purchase EVER!!!
Get out and play in the white stuff because it should be gone soon!!!???
Yesterday one could see dirt; today, ahh not so much!! Lol
Pedal On!!
Peace

Springtime in Northern Mn.
Well, old man winter isn't going away quietly!!
3" of snow fell over night, with 10+ being called for by tomorrow morning.
On my way into work, I watched a couple skinny tired bikers struggle through the wet heavy snow this morning.
i choose not to rub in my ease of pedaling through this fresh dropping of the white stuff, and took a different way into to work. Lol
Anyway, it is what it is, and warmth will be here before we know it!!
One has to love northern Mn. during spring!! Ha Ha
I've also put my tune up on hold.
Who wants to get a fresh tune up, and ride through the slop?? The slop will be gone soon enough, and then it's game on!! Lol
I few snaps shots outside work.
Pedal On!!!

What's All the Fuss???
We have plenty of snow out there!!!
Not as much as this time last year, but there's plenty!!
frozen solid this morning, and loud as hell!!
i had to stop and put some ear plugs in!!
Not really, but i could've. :/
lots of wheeler tracks, and a few crazy people's snomo tracks!!
My Foxwear jacket really kicks ass!!!
now i just need a frame bag to lose the camelbak on these shorter rides.
Anyway, here's some more pic.
all in all....... an hour and a half, and just under 10 miles.

More Snow!!!
A fresh fluffy 6" of new snow greeted me as I stepped out the door this morning at 4:30. I could almost tell that I shoveled after work yesterday!! ;)
Beside the odd tire tracks, and the late night snomo riders, I was making some more fresh tracks!! 11 degrees.... -9 with the wind. It really wasn't all that bad, then again what could be bad about listening to the Fat tires crunching the fresh snow??!!
There's a nasty rumor about a foot of snow on turkey day..... Hmmmm.. :))
Now I think I'll wait for a good cold snap, then put the new rubber on. I hear that the Endo's are out of stock for a bit. I'm waiting on Calvin to get back to me on that one. It just may be Larry's all the way around!!!
