I'm in. Shuh has something else going on. My neighbor may be in as well. He doesn't rides bikes but knows his way around Credit Island, if you know what I mean. Just kidding, he has a fat bike.
On an semi-related note, I just bought a roll of this mac 'n cheese duck tape for a potential tubeless conversion:

Have you guys ever tried riding a typical 29'er out there? (29x2.3 tires)
Guessing it just doesn't have the tread real estate to not sink and get stuck quickly...

You'd be ok if it is frozen and little to no snow. Definitely not as fun as on a fat bike though, as you can't really get into the sandy/ loose areas that are fun to ride. By the end of the Winter last year there was basically a single track trail out to and around the island, but if it snows or starts to get soft, anything less than 3.8" (Krampus can't do it) and it gets pretty tough going.
It comes down to how much fun you want to have; fat bikes make it much more awesomer.

Cool. I've got a few more recruited. Be nice to have a small group. Haven't stomped proper in a few years. Pretty stoked.
