    Truth! I've only been up there to ride twice and there's a ton of awesome stuff to see.

    You guys looking for bike parks or just flowy trails?

    Thanks guys. North Conway sounds good. We're more looking to ride flawy single track. The all-day kind. I imagine a google search may result in some decent maps? Looking forward to ride some of these places just outside our normal home range…

    North Conway will get you that, and there's some legit gnar as well. I haven't ridden it yet, but I've heard great stuff about the trails in the Mad River Valley.

    you want flo? try bear brook state park in allenstown nh. 10,000 + acres with tons of flow. 20-30 mile loops no prob. my fave spot in all of new england, overall. long flowing trails with minimal junctions. very unlike burke, in a good way

    Clavicle healed. Fuuuuck that took a while. Thank you bone-stimulator, and no I don't mean my wife.

    Few months of strengthening and I should be trail riding again, just in time to move to the upper valley of VT. Sickter. [/blog]

    Well, I think that stuff that looked like fog on my drive home was was actually the ghost of Crusty the Clown floating skyward as he departed for the year. I'm so sad

    Rog, good thing you got it this morning cuz that flood watch you're under kinda means that Crusty is is about to abandon your 'hood too.

    What a run it was...

    Great mixed ride today! Dirt, ice, snow! Right on the edge of being perfect. Several spots 6-7" deep and had to walk it, but other spots were just awesome. Cannot believe how well these tires ride ice. Then to finally ride dirt with small tech parts I was surprised at how well it rode over everything. These fattys are cool!

    the surfboard won this am, however i did ride the fatty on dirt/unplowed snowy camp roads to check the surf at 1st light.

    glad you got out. the fattys really shine in mixed conditions and tech. still a bunch of snow here in the woods, but it's goin fast!

    Yeah I finally got my Fatboy out on dirt last week, it had only seen snow since I got it, and decided that my other bikes may not see much use in the near future. I think it fits my preferred riding "style" pretty well. In other words, it's a ball going slow and eating up techy stuff and has just enough fast in it for me. There is obviously the right tool for the job thing and there will be places the fatty is the wrong tool but maybe, just maybe, slowing down and smelling the roses is the call for this year. It should also make my daughter happy if she is faster than me because she's riding her lightweight FS bike

    totally^^^^^all that. when ya been ridin fer decades, ya gotta mix it up. my fatty makes me smile more in all conditions and allows me to ride more conditions, more tech, with more comfort and control.

    enjoy the dirt!

    ? My kid grabbed the paddleboard for a little session just to get on the water. It was small.

    The mile of so of road riding I have to do is pretty crazy with the fatty! I have to counter steer going around corners otherwise it just turns the bars right over. Obviously that has to do with tire pressure. Another thing I've learned is to stay off the bars when going thru deep snow. I would try to adjust if I was pulled one way or the other and then end up over-adjusting. Was a vicious circle! Now I just get the rpms cranking and barely hold the bars and surprisingly can cruise thru some sloppy mank pretty well. I'm evolving as a fatbiker

    Ha! Yeah, but any non-biker watching me push my bike thru the snow today would think I'm the dumb one!

    This section was good and rideable.


    This section not so much.


    This is a new roller line that is just fun and it was dry! Hard to see it...but it's there!


    The views...and some F16 or whatever crazy jets were ripping around today. Didn't snag a pic of those.
