Playing in the Snow

Dipped out on heading over to the Lakes for a sportive and took the fat bike for a spin in the snow in the Dales.

On Mastiles Lane

Heading towards Weets Top

Lovely (apart from the sludge as the snow melted!)

Top man!

How did you find your maiden ride on the snow with a fat bike?

The snow was fine - it was perfect snowball snow, slightly damp - it was between 5cm & 10cm deep. The main problem was below the snowline, the sodden grass might have been sheet ice for all the grip I had. Quite a few comedy slips and dismounts

If I felt the bike going then I could step off otherwise I got a bit muddy!

Not sure if Husker Dus are the best for snow but then I've nothing to compare them to.

HuDus are my summer tyre.

120tpi Nates go on for winter.

Good to see you enjoying the snow though.

I was like Bambi on the mud!

Might have to spend some money
