The Bike Didn't Stay at Work Tonight


And it didn't go home, the plan wasn't to ride tonight but between the stress of work and staring at it as much as I could all day I caved and off I went.

As a dog owner knowing my dogs are dumb enough to chase people if they were off leash. I don't bring them to those areas. Common sense and pet ownership should go hand in hand, but it doesn't.

The bulk of the ride was spent on multi use and paved from Mill Creek to the Low Level to Dawson Bridge. The fat bike proved it's worth on the return home through Mill Creek ravine as I hit the singletrack heading towards the pool and rode all the good stuff up to and past the pool all with a shit eating grin.

It was awesome. I would be very hard pressed to ride this stuff on my old Winter bike. The way the bike conquers the trails was incredible. I want to do this again soon! How about tomorrow?

darkness and snowy mill creek singletrack, yes please.
