It's tough to take those kind of temps right now since it was near 60 a week ago and is supposed to be averaging in the 50's! I think that contrast was what sapped my will to ride...
Trail riding is definitely better when it's cold--I still hope to own a fat bike someday! An hopefully it'll motivate me to ride more in the winter time...
yeah.. that will do it..
I can't speak highly enough about the Fat Bikes. We have had an absolute blast riding them this winter. We have done a lot of snow riding with "regular" mountain bikes for years... but the conditions had to be right. These things greatly expand the riding conditions.
Perhaps some of our enthusiasm is just the "New Bike Jones".. but I find it as I have found on a Fat Bike forum.. is the fun.. and I have to agree.. they are just plain fun.
They are heavy.. and you feel it at first. [although they can be build much ligher than what mine is.].. but I must say right now.. it just feels like a bike. Some just use them in the snow.. others end up with it becoming their only bike. I do plan on using it on other than snow.
