Had a great ride yesterday, back into the little slice of Paradise here in townTrails 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...

Thanks for the headups SHEFLY! I had nor registered yet because of injury, but registered now. The registration process seemed to get a hickup half way through, so I emailed Bike-Reg to make sure that I'm in.... I signed up for the long one as well. I do have one question for you though: as you go by me could you please give me a BIG push? HA!

AWESOME! So glad you registered! I'll definitely message you when we are in Bethel next week - maybe we can connect for a ride somewhere. Can't WAIT to be able to ride the fat bikes on the snow!

I've been playing with air pressure a bit... have you settled on a definite number yet? I rode app 5PSI over the weekend, and it seemed a bit harsh over the rough stuff.... might think about some more agressive tires as well.... ah it's fun! Thanks again for the heads up about registration!!
