Powder day
I have a love/hate relationship with fresh snow. I love how beautiful it is, and I love the way it covers roots and little stumps, changing the character of a trail between summer and winter.
But I hate all the work it takes to pack trails and make them fun to ride again. I hate the way I founder in the powder when a trail is only four to eight inches wide, and the slightest error—and I make a lot of errors—yanks my front wheel off its line.
After last week’s dump, I’ll be pushing more than I like for a few more days. But once it gets packed again, damn, it’s gonna be sweet.

I'm somewhat new to all this, but what kind of bike, and what kind of wheels/tires are those? That looks like a great setup for winter biking!
Thanks,

There are several brands of fat bikes in use these days, Peter. Follow the links on my blog to Speedway Cycles (which makes the Fatback) and the Surly site (then look for the Surly Pugsley). If you follow the Chain Reaction link, you can check out their 9:ZERO:7 fat bike.
Shit! I'm salivating like one of Pavlov's dogs. Trying to get my Pugs built ASAP and can't find rims anywhere. Finally...out of desperation, I put in a bid on some wheels on eBay.
Going crazy here in MN.
i agree with peter, those are some serious tyres! and i like the glove things as well
