Not everyone uses facebook, I know a few riders who don't, so I would keep this as the main posting site about events and rides.
I do miss the old photo hosting service the Fats had. |

Also on Thursday at the 909 around 5:15pm the parking lot is usually full with a few different groups of Mtn bikers.
I'm sure some would be interested if he showed up and talked to them. |

A pocket chainsaw is another great option. Smaller to store, can cut through thicker limbs than a folding saw, cuts just as fast, and uses more muscle groups so it's not as tiring.

Fat Friday After work
Mercury was sort of rideable, but it had plenty of the soft slushy snow that a Fatbike just sinks into. I saw a 29er and he had the same difficulty with the slush/snow.
