A Winter Fat Biking Experience

Some of my favorite biking happens in winter. The snowy, frozen landscape is vast, with the lack of foliage making it easier to spot the denizens of the forest. The snow muffles the earth, causing a welcome solitude. Deer prints sunken into a freshly groomed singletrack trail means you’re likely to spot one around the next corner. Yet the trail can be challenging, and the snow of one day will never be the snow of the next, as it takes on seemingly endless textures (fresh powder, crunchy, slick ice, slushy and hard pack to name a few), which make each ride different from the last. Today’s video is an ode to winter riding, and, if I did my job well, it will capture at least some of the beauty and grandeur of Winter, by Bike.
