January Dirt

Another mild weekend of weather translated into another sesh on the dirt for the fat bike.  It was mild enough that I did not wear the 'winter bike shoes'.  I stashed those away and went with my regular riding shoes layered with a liner, a goretex sock and a light sock over that.  The last layer was the toe warmers on the shoes.  All in all, my feet were comfy but was mostly due to temps being in the 40's.

I have yet to try this system with the winter Lake shoes since it has not yet been cold enough but it looks like our fortunes are changing as we woke up to snow and 9 degrees, but the kicker is that the temps have been dropping.  Moral of the story:  careful what you wish for eh?

In a weird way, it is a bit of psyche to see the snow!  It means that the fat bike will be able to spin in her native environment again - riding the phattie in the dirt is super fun but not the intended primary use.
