Alright so
Bart Miller for Cycling strong did the Grand Targhee Fat Bike Race
and couple of things I want you to think about if you do a Fat Bike Race
number one thing is got the bike done night before we went up there we started
riding
it was absolutely amazing conditions but I started sliding all over the place
because I'd forgot to check my tires and tire pressure so make sure
you check your tire pressure and I know that like I know that
but I didn't do it setting how my tire pressure dialed in
the other thing is is that I started riding
and my water started freezing up on me and it was really tough to be able to get the
water out
and hydration so figure out your nutrition make sure you got some sort of
idea of what you're doing or just get it done fast enough that you don't need
anything
on your nutrition aspect of things also
think about different things like
whether as far as gloves and things like that I used
gloves called glacier gloves and to be honest with you I just didn't know how
warm they were gonna be
so I used another protocol bar Mitz and the bar Mitz come out here
and put your hand inside there with the glacier glove in the bar Mitt
my hand was so hot I couldn't believe it like
when I got out my hands looked they've been in a sauna things were so hot
so little too warm for me glacier gloves nice job, Bar Mitts nice job my hand
stayed warm which is amazing
thank you very much for that but just make sure you're prepared for those
different things
and sometimes it just comes with trial and error so you just gotta
get out there try things out and then figure out if it works for you
so I've been doing that experimenting and
just had a great time so anyway I encourage you to get out there ride one of
these bikes
Borealis does an amazing job a building fat bikes
Race Face their stuff its just absolutely killer
but get out there put one of these things together and go have fun doing
Fat bike races or ride in the sand
or mountain biking one thing I love on this bike is the XX one
also because it gives the capability of people who don't ride bikes a lot to
be able to just get on this bike and ride it
these ergone grips their amazing to
I use them on all my bike some people don't like 'em but they just give me a little
more comfort on my hand so
anyway I hope that kinda wraps it up for you and we'll keep you in tune with the
rest of the
races that we're doing this season and well have a good time talk to you later
