Wide Bike Riding

Going up hill on the 32x32 gear


Fat bikes belong on the road too!!!


Getting fitter, still 40 lbs from my goal.


A wonderful day on the fat bike.


Wife at the bottom of US 20 and Oran-Delphi road.


The picture does no justice. I bombed this hill at 47mph on the Pugsley.


Heading east on US 20, heading towards Cazenovia, N.Y.


Yeah, this day was awesome. 


Had the joy to get out with the wife on a most splendid day. Yesterday was hot and sticky, then it stormed and now we are enjoying some beautiful fresh air from our Canadian neighbors. I was out on the Pugsley and the wife on her Bleriot. We did our usual 10mile climb then took US 20 downhill to Oran-Delphi road then came back into town via 92. The Pugsley with 30lbs of pressure was a joy to ride and I did hit 47mph going down 20. The sun was out, the scenery outstanding and the company great. Fat bikes are not only for the snow but correcting the pressure they can be used on a wide array of surfaces. For snow at around 10 lbs or less according to your weight. I had them maxed out at 30lbs for the road. I would be interested in using a pair of the new slicks that they have.



Good luck to all of you preparing for the Dirty Kanza 200. Our dear friend the Llama will be out there sweating buckets as he attempts to conquer the heat and the gravel of Kansas. Good luck buddy and I hope you have a blast down there.

QWIK 20

Rode the Mariachi yesterday and did 20. This time I jacked up the pressure to 50lbs PSI and My legs did not feel like warm gum. Climbed for 10 miles and came downhill all the way home. Very hot and humid. Later on it stormed like crazy and the temps dropped.

P.S. I would invite you to Google Slender Fungus and see all the great images that show up.



On the way up Ridge rd I spotted Dodge Cemetary. Looks like a peaceful play to lay your bones.
