Fat bikes are for "dirty" trails!!

That 9:Zero:7 got a good work out today judging by all that Glacial Drumlin limestone dust that dried on that bike!


 Boy, that stuff is harder to clean up then mud!

 I was covered in a light layer of limestone cake after the ride but a beer or two and about 45 minutes the bike was clean and I was clean and I scraped the lime stone off of my shoes..... The KMB

Fat bike on the Glacial Drumlin Trail

 


I started from the bike doc's shop on a warm mid January day. The trail got a little soft in spots and the bike was a mess after about 55 miles of trail riding but its always fun to be riding a great trail like this any time of the year!!

 On the soft spots the fat tires just rolled right over them with out sinking to much. The ground is still frozen but the top inch or two was wet and soft. Other areas of the trail were icy with a slight bit of powder on the ice so it was not all that slippery.

The worst part of the afternoon were the non stop south west head winds but the tail wind back was great fun and as night came so did the trail freeze up!! KMB

New 9:Zero: 7 fat bike





I just got this beautiful bicycle home from the shop. Andy just did a super job with the design and build of this bike. I did not have much time to ride it much today but what little I did ride it it is awesome! Plan on a longish ride tomorrow in the Kettle Moraine forest to give the bike a full go around.... KMB
