Snow is coming!!

Just flipped the sign at Sugar Bottom. Open for business - Fatbikes gotta ride.

Got out tonight for my first real snow ride on my own fat tired bicycle. It had me remembering the days when i bought my Surly 1x1 and but Kenda Nevegal 2.7's (that was about as fat as they got back then) on it to ride in the snow along the mighty Fox River in Batavia, IL. Fast forward 10 years and the bike is the same color and the same brand but has gears and much bigger tires. But, I had the same **** eating grin on my face and the same stainless steel flask in my breast pocket as I tooled around Marion, IA tonight on some streets and some gravel trail and a bit of single track at Thomas Park (I saw ILT tracks there). I'll admit that riding through the deep snow took more power than I anticipated and has me thinking about tire pressure and that my gauge on my floor pump is not very accurate under 15lbs if at all. Regardless, I had fuggin great time and after a long work week so far it was just what the doctor ordered. I'm now finishing off a bottle of Merlot left over from the weekend and am not currently concerned about the mixture of Rye Whiskey and Red wine that precipitated this rambling post, but I'm sure I'll pay for it in the morning. But I'll worry about that then.

If anybody wants to brave the snow covered trails, I posted this ride earlier in the week

As is evident by the responses, its popularity has not reached what I forecasted it to be. That could be either because of short notice, lack of interest, other engagments, or because everyone knows I'm a prick. But I figured I could make it all better with bacon. The point is, due to lack of popularity, I could easily bring my ass, my bike, and my four pounds of bacon to Sugarbottom on Saturday morning instead.
