If I can get out of here at a good time, I'll be singlespeeding around Camrock this afternoon, say, 2-4 or something like that, if anyone wants to rock some laps out there.

It is going to be a great day for it Scot. Are you going cat?

I will let you know but it will most likely be later or even a night ride for me.

I'm about 75% sure I'll get out.  I assume you mean fat not cat....but no, bringing the dillinger if I make it out.

Sad state of affairs there Scott.
I thought we had established that riding below 38 degrees required tires of equal to or greater than 3.7". You gotta ride it to enjoy it Every lap does not need to set a speed record. You will be working just as hard or harder.

Damn fat fingers trying to type on an iPhone :P

Every lap does not need to set a speed record.

nonsense

Actually I may take the fatty out as well and do a lap one each.  Does need a test run....

Guess I should not have called you a liar on the trail you called it. Never saw your last post.
Your fatty with the Lou and Nate is going to be a pretty slow machine. But like you said. Built for snow.
We had a good ride. But the guy I was with fell off Pain In The Neck. Gave me flashbacks. He was mostly OK but messed up his hand pretty good. Quite a ride for his first ride on his new bike, Bears old steed.

What's Pain in the Neck?

If temp -lt 40;
Tires -gt 3.7

Tell Jeff to get shirts made up.

Yeah, it's a lot of tire to push around.  The rotational mass is something special....it's not a bike meant for climbing for sure.  It think a big fat larry tire weighs something like 3 pounds - Bud has to be at least a pound  more and it's all rotational weight.  Getting up hills is completely different - once your momentum fades you work hard.  But as you said, they also hold momentum when you're not fighting gravity.  The Bud also could corner on a sheet of ice, I think...  I'm guess I was running 5 PSI or less at the end of my ride.  The bike definitely got funner and nicer to ride as I let the air out of the tires.

It was fun to give it a first ride out at CamRock.  It went over dragon back with no problem, but the handling is clearly different.  But for me this bike is sheer novelty on singletrack, we set it up in classic fatbike spirit like you said - sand and snow and where other bikes won't go!

Drag about your friends crash.  That feature looks far more harmless than it actually is.

What's Pain in the Neck?

A feature that a club member broke his neck falling off of.

Yeah but where is it?

Outback. First feature after the Scout Bridge.
Ramp up to a 10' ladder. Across large tree then ramp down.

Gotcha.
