November Rides

[north woods gal]

Catrin, oh, definitely. I use my fat bikes (a Salsa Blackboro and, now, also a Surly Pugsley) all year round - in the summer, the majority of my trail riding is now with the fatties, even though I have a regular hard tail and a full suspension MTB. When I post about my MTB riding, I use MTB to mean both standard MTBs and fat bikes. Really one and the same, up here. In fact, some of our local experts now use fat bikes for 100% of their trail work and have their regular MTBs up for sale. Our rough trails are made to order for fat bikes. The fatties really can go where no other MTBs can and they roll over just about anything, no suspension needed. Also love their stable, comfy ride. They're no speed demons and kind of big and clunky on pavement (though there are tires that help, there).
