LCR Road FAT

LCR beatdown circa fat tires (and a few notso fat). LCR1 called out/ makes no sense/ nonsense/ perfect.

Fat Road Hazards.
Road-snirt-median skinny-lake ice-road-ditch-rec path-sticks-DT StP-attack

Many absent, some missed, none forgotten.

LCR Pelton. 
Phone shutter too slow, photo missed an eddie Guy trying to outdo Jimmmay wheelie, only to crash in downtown Mahtomedi.  Shameus shoulda known, diffcult to outdo a Jim wheel.

Stupid is as stupid does (on White Bear Lake)
The best... Finish ride, then a quarter of the team showed up(Henge, QPet, Richzilla, leMac, Marx, Punisher, Jim Guy, Chopper, Scot, Buell)...

The other quarter boycotted/ tough love (Jack-Paulz, Habs, leGoat, Dominator, LittleDave, puertorican Ed, KG, Charles, WonderWoman, DMan & RS, Osow, Magican, Luke, Beth-Doug, Fitz/ Guy, Porteay).  Can't forget Greg Spence.

Who am I missing???

Thanks LCR1, General, and allyou Skirts...

Tip to tip to tip

River Bottoms last hurrah... Tip to tip to tip. LCR code for what you'd call Lyndale-Ferry-Cedar-Mounds-Lyndale. More hazards with the ice, means more joy on the bike. All the logs and traps got tracks, some slip/ some not so much. Found a couple new lines (planks and junk) put in by the west side riddlers/ nice work.

Note- If you really want to get across 9 mile creek, there is no stick bridge, no ice cross, no raft, but you do have this...
Bike shoe shuffle with 32lb fatbike adds to the threat. Perfect.
Heath's Eagle Log... I wont forget when he found it. We all got real quiet.

First tracks. Eagle stares you down. You can avoid, but ride away knowing you skipped.
The lack of snow had one positive this winter, more lines with tree skinnys, stump rides, junk, and brush piles.  Those who say the river isn't technical ride with their head down acting like those skinny's/ stumps/ and junk aren't there... Crossed paths with Youngblood, LazyDave, and CF Dan... CF Dan never been, felt obligated to show him some of our traps, especially after I ramped his Surly after a yardsale on the ice...

River season over... Next Fall start over from scratch.
