#Fatbike, X-C Bike. Ride what you have!

Today's Ride. Tall green grass, mosquitoes, lots of sunshine and heat, puddles to wade through and downed trees to climb over. We also had to keep pulling grass out of our dérailleur and cassette.
(3hrs 49 min, at an av.hr. 73% of max. according to Polar).
                     Trail that was too deep to ride or wade through. Detour time.

                             The view from the bench when we had lunch

                     Just around the corner is a herringbone hill in the winter.

                                     Just a quick break at this cabin.
The small tasty strawberries are hard to see. About the size of a pencil eraser end.

                                   More wild roses and their lovely scent.
                    Climbing time. The deep grass gives a lot more resistance.
                                     It was nice place to stop for lunch.
Sprint to get into the picture!
