So I’m going to try and get this blog going again. In March we decided to put our house up for
sale, man you don’t realize how much time that selling and buying a house
takes. We sold our house fairly quickly
and in July we moved to Hugo, a much better location for work and closer to our
hobbies.
Here’s a little recap on biking stuff from the winter and spring.We got out on the fat bikes as much as we could and we did a few races.
Solstice Chase in St. Croix Falls, very little snow but still a good day! |
Catfish Cup at Carver |
Troy and Kyleen at Carver for some snowy singletrack! |
I built up a Mukluk for Kyleen last spring, she is loving it! |

Group shot! |
This was Kyleen's first attempt at a fatbike race, I think that she is hooked! |
I pulled out the old sewing machine and taught myself how to
sew and I made a few bikepacking things for the fatty.
I have been gathering parts us for a while now and I built up a nice Salsa El Mariachi, I really like this bike so far. I built it up for some gravel rides, bikepacking and some races. Basically a do everything bike.Frame bag and harness for the fatty. |
The frame bag works great! |
I still need to test out the harness, but it should work great. |
Just needs a chain and the real seat/ seatpost installed. |
First real ride at Elm Creek. |
The El Mar with my Tallboy's fork, it rode well like this. |
