Sounds like fun.
My nephew was riding with a group in Red Deer Last fall after he bought a new bike.

Maybe a few after work evening rides lined up...

My last ride out with commuting,,, lunch and all worked out too $15 all in,,, kind of splurged on that outt-ing,,, normally it works out too $5 dollar day runs from sun up too sun-down...

Cheers all...

Don

Lem looks like the fatty may be tired, refusing to go any further? ha may need some studded tires soon!

 

[imdoo'n]

Correct,,, logg on the miles of smiles...

Super easy and it cost next too nothing...

Lots of local Alberta this year..

Pack the bike too various staging areas and pliage the trails...


Edmonton River valley trails are awesome,,, Red Deer River,,, Calgary locations,,, and Bragg Creek too name a few...

All within Our 100 mile radius...

The bush trails are the best,,, take the time too pack down a few spur-loops which really opens up the trails networks...

Cheers all

Don

with all those miles and smiles Lem, u must pack a big lunch?
are those mochaccinos being delivered on the trail? haha. more likely the cowboy trail mix mochaccinos, frugal and tasty! i know that would be the Lem Lamb way, more funds for the next trail ride! Great Adventure Don! luv the pics!

Some of the best fat tire trails our Province has too offer...

Yha'll bust your 8@!!'zzz on the first bench,,, after that its Hooligan Rad from there on in threw the Rolly's and Sweep-ing Fast track Draws...

Look far ahead and giver,,, some sections are tight-twistys,,, other sections are loooong sweep-ing curves in-between the side-hill shoots...

Kind like a dirt bike with tracks less the $$$$ investments...
View attachment 275539

Frugal priced fat bike and giver...

Sit at home and watch the news,,, then share the details on our Snow and Mud forum...

Or...

Spend the day in the forest in search of lost...

Cross threaded and sideways is optional they say...

Weekend burn-ner is underway...

Day and night rides for this outting...

Boots on the ground too get the beast up there,,, then smash the trails...

Cheers all

Don

Those Dillinger tires are sexy and pricey, out of my budget lol
I made a set of winter tires with 3/8 pan head screws.

 

[pano-dude]

I use my ebike to move the horses from one pasture to another too, good times.

 

[pano-dude]

You make the exact same long winded post every day. You must have a little bit of time on your hands. Or maybe alzhiemers

You bitch about every post on this site, it's great to have positive posts by someone actually getting outside and enjoying life.

 

[pano-dude]

I look for your posts first thing having my coffee, start the day with positive energy.
Downhill trails in the dark last night with a skiff of snow to spice things up.

 

[Lem Lamb]

Definitely a night ride tonight...

Put in a good ride for our Moderators,,, their awesome folks...

[imdoo'n]

take care out there Lem, very easy to take a tumble on an iced up trail, besides where would we get great pics of the trails and wild life?

 

[Lem Lamb]

Will do scouubbee-do,,, don't go down on ice...

Lamp test night...

Got some bush trails lined up for this weekend...

Most of the snow melted off in our area so I fired up my xtc 29'er ,,, its a heck of alot easier too throw around on the trails then my Old Man Winter bike...

- A calm 4°C eevening
- Short 7 mile ride
- Zig-zagg'ed the forest trails
- Slow Relaxing Pace
- Its great getting back in the saddle
- I'll have too turn it up a notch if I'm planning on tackling the Ram Mountain climb next year...
- Definitely looking forward too sharing more of these rides ...

Cheers all
