| KHS 4seasons 500 just in from a ride. |
Here at Goose Creek we really love fat bikes this time of year for a number of reasons.
#1 Fat bikes are always fun to ride so this time of year is no different.
#2 As the temperatures drop mountain biking in general becomes a better idea because the woods will offer some shelter from the wind, and slower speeds with more effort keep you warmer.
#3 Help preserve the trails. In the winter most of the plants are dormant or dead which means they are not sucking up the water like they do in the summer. This means the trails stay wet and muddy more than they do in the summer. On the other side of this coin, when the temperatures drop enough all this water freezes and you can again ride the trails without doing damage. Fat bikes give you a wider range of ride time because they float over snowy trails, have better traction on wet leaves, and do less damage to the trail if you do hit that occasional section of mud.
#4 The off season is all about maintaining fitness and avoiding burnout. Trainers can get deadly boring, a fat bike is a great way to keep interest up with a fun new toy that doesn't break the bank.
This year we will be renting KHS 4 seasons fat bikes. Give us a little warning and we can have one ready for you.
