Finally i got a ride in daylight and some sun as well. Its been along time since i have seen the sun during a ride and it was fantastic. The temperature was +7degress as well with only a gentle breeze along the tracks, talking of which they were dry and puddle/mud free as well. I have never seen so many cyclists out enjoying themselves and it was great to see, I also got talking to a canny bloke from West Cornforth who was out on his mtb. He stopped in his tracks when he seen me on my Beargrease as he is also a fellow Fat Bike owner. His son bought a Surly Pugsley, he had a test ride and enjoyed it that much he bought an On One Fatty for himself. Its great to see such a great value bike being brought to the general masses and ridden for fun on all types of terrain. He said he really enjoys riding it at Hamsterley Forest on the trails! talking of which its about time i had a trip to Forest for some mud plugging myself.
