Prior to 2017 I dreaded winter solstice and the 2 months on either side. It meant months of hibernating in the pain cave. Then I bought a Fat Bike! Found a group of riders that keep cranking through the snow. These riders have turned the tide of winter solitude into Wednesday social rides, Sunday races. And we don’t care what the weathers doing, nastier the better, snow, mud, slop bring it! Too wet too ride in the spring? Not for us, The parks ask us to come out and smooth out the trails for them. Fast is relative, in some conditions my fatty is way faster than my FS MTB in others not so much. IMO the real beauty of Fat bikes is no one really cares what brand or what bling you bring. Mud, Snow, Muck are great equalizers.
