Christmas season is over !
Well for me as far as work goes Christmas season is over and work will be back to normal now. 33 straight days of work and just no time or energy to ride. So had a bunch of shopping to do on my first day off (Saturday) and now if off to the woods to go play today. Just couldn't stop smiling and it was GREAT to be back out on the bike. Merry Christmas everyone.

Great Video! It was 80 degrees here yesterday 
my fat bike never sees ice or snow but is a blast to ride on rough terrain.

Was wondering wut happened to ya. Nice sunny day was gonna remark that you found a nice dry trail but then hahaha didn’t let us down with the water works! Feet survive? Heard this will be an el nino winter which for NE means warmer & wetter. So far this year I’ve been getting more rides on my studded tires w/o ice/snow than I got on ice/snow last year!

You already have your studs on ? Should I put them on now, I've never used studded tires before.

yes, got them on several weeks ago. 1 ride on ice so far. multiple rides without ice. they say 1 ride on pavement w/o snow/ice to set the studs. so if you put them on, you'll be ready when the you-know-what hits the fan. January is coming & that's usually freeze time, looking at my pics from last year. it's OK to ride them w/o ice or snow. those fat tires are probably a bear to install so might as well get to it. maybe sneak some fat bike rides in beforehand? all this week will be good riding weather. but if you are short on ride time, like me, you may not get out on the fat bike until it snows. etc

Just put them on (-30 mins.) not bad, and will roll out Christmas Day at some point in-between family visits.
