    LOL! My torso isn't bruised (yet), but is SO SORE!

    Here's the link to the registration for the race: https://www.bikereg.com/Net/moose-brook-fat-bike-race. DH and I are DEFINITELY IN. We'll be up for most of the week of Thanksgiving, so I'll be sure to ping you. Keeping fingers crossed that there may be some snow.

    Enjoy the bike! It's happiest riding through things like deep sand and wood chips .

    Hopefully there won't be any bruising, although some of my friends would remind me that it is part of the adventure....not sure what I think about that HA!

    Thanks for the link; I'll definitelly check it out... hopefully I'll have time to truly get on the bike and make adjustments etc.... fun so far though

    Have a good weekend!

    One of my of favorite Italian restaurants is in Gorham, NH.
    It sounds like fun, guys, but since I have an innate fear of hurting myself (and the only fat bikes I've seen are not for someone as short as me), I will live vicariously through you all.
    And I don't think you are crazy at all.

    Had a great ride yesterday, back into the little slice of Paradise here in town Trails were covered in ice where the 4 wheelers share the trail, so opted for some dirt roads with climbing and great views...

    Crankin: I'll have to check out your restaurant, next time I get over there... thanks for the mention.

    Any adventures over the weekend Shefly?

    Did two back-to-back cross races in CT on Saturday - one on the SS, and the other in the Women's A race. Had good performances in both, and loved the course. Someone actually raced a fat bike in the SSCX race - he was moving pretty well, and managed to beat me!

    Yesterday we went and cheered friends and teammates at another local race. By the time we got home, it started raining, so we went out on the Charges in the rain... Did about 1:15 on the local Battle Road loop here. Ate lots of winter moths and dirt for dinner! I discovered last night that when riding fat tire bikes in the wet, you either need good fenders, or glasses! Lots of sand in my eyes, and COVERED in dirt when I got home.

    Sounds like you had a good weekend!

    I agree with you on the fenders, in fact have some coming in later today. I may opt to buy some tires with a bit deeper knobs as well, but we'll see how we do on these as well. I'm still playing back asnd forth with air pressure at this point as well...

    Wish that I wasn't working today, it's gorgeous out... but I'm at the ski shop today, so another day....

    If you want to do the Fat Bike race in Gorham, you need to register - it's about to sell out! I'm doing the long version...
