Biathlon: you're doing it right.

Heh...biathlon is XC skiing and shooting... I think Aquabike is the swim/bike multisport event. It's definitely too danged hot for a biathlon (as much as I gripe about Winter, snow would be sorta welcome, right now).

[Tri Girl]

Love it!
Love those fatbikes, too. No use for them here, but in sand and snow... (and apparently ocean)- ahhh...

[roadie gal]

That was hysterical. Loved it!

[Wahine]

I like it!!

[goride]

Oh - that looks like fun! Hard work, though. Water bottle might be necessary. The lake water sure isn't drinkable. They've closed a lot of the beaches on the Wisconsin side of the lake.

Yeah, he's not about to drink it. He actually rode from our house (about 4 miles away), then rode up and down the beach a bit, then we put his bike on the car for the trip home. He's gotta to take things apart a bit to clean all the sand out, now.

Wow. My husband is pretty crazy but in a different sort of way. Yours is, ummm, unique. Gotta love a guy who makes you laugh.

That's what I was thinking: "oh, all that sand in the drivetrain. So not fun to clean out.". At least its not salt water!

Perfect bike for the adventure, tho.

Is that a Pugsley? What's the "Mukluk" in the title?

[limewave]

Awesome! That by far is the best way to have biked in the heat last week.

Mukluk is Salsa's equivalent of a Pugsley.

Zoom, that looks like tons of fun! They have a scene in Reveal the Path where they're riding fatbikes on the coast of Alaska...definitely something I'd like to try someday.

Mukluk is to Pugsly as Salsa is to Surly. I believe the Pugsly is steel, while the Mukluks are aluminum or titanium. There are lots of fatbike models around, now, but I think the Surly Pugsly may have been sort of the first one. We have a company near us (616) that also makes a fatbike. They even have a fatbike tandem!

I'm gonna have to make sure my husband doesn't see that video so he won't come up with his own hairbrained stunt!

[Bethany1]

LOVE my Mukluk. You can ride them anywhere you want. No need to wait for winter or the beach. One of the most comfortable bikes I have. Not the fastest or the most agile, but tons of fun and goes over everything.

Video was great!

[SheFly]

That. Was. Awesome.
