Pixie training!
If you don't know, pixies are basically 16in wheeled kids bikes being ridden by adults. Most do not remain stock, most remain single speed coaster brake only bikes though. Lots of laughs and can be surprisingly fast.

Troll-in in the snow
I put the semi fat Surly Troll to the test today and was very impreesed to see it hold its own with "real" fatbikes on everything from deep snowdrifts, sand, ice, and slush.
Deeep snow drifts |
Just finished plowing through another drift |
Al was determined to get through this one.... |

Surly Troll semi-fat bike
Could not be more accurate |
Continental Slash 26x2.3 tire on the rear |
Continental Diesel 2.5 (measures out to 2.7 with 65mm rims) on the front with plenty of room to spare. |
Still a fair amount of clearance on the rear. |

Ute Pass
The final push to the top is a real kick in the nuts, 2.5 hours of constant climbing to get here, |
Sonny killing it. |
Heading back down Ute Pass into Manitou wondering if the camera would pick up the string of snot slung across my face.... |

Pikes Peak by Bike
Nate killed it on the SS tall bike |
The Troll gave me a workout today and handled it much better than I did. |
You can see the hurt on my face but damn it was worth it. |

Santa Fe Trail
Showed Jessica the Santa Fe Trail yesterday and got in just shy of 20 miles. She is riding quite a bit stronger now and hopefully that will make a weekend bike tour go smoother along with help her when she starts to get into mountain biking. We should be doing and easy mountain bike ride later today actually.
