Fat Bike Folly:
After crashing for a good 15 hours, I tried out Fat Biking with STORM in Bracebridge. We rented bikes from Muskoka Outfitters and road close to town. I would have totally bailed if we hadn't paid for the rentals in advance.
I must say, I was disappointed with the lack of traction on the snowmobile trails we tried and figure there are still very limited conditions under which Fat bikes are worth the effort. Today's deep and granular snow was very similar to riding in deep sand ( ie sucked). It was much more fun to ride on snow covered residential roads so we switched to that after a while. I suspect that flat, well packed-down walking trails would be the best conditions for these types of bikes, either that or maybe more experience.
Still, better than couch surfing and always fun to try out something new.
