With snow melting temperatures on the way, this past Friday night’s trail ride at Assiniboine Park and Forest was billed as a last chance for us Winnipegger fat bikers to trail ride on snow. Today the snow is melting and our prediction is coming true.
So, how was Friday night’s ride? … Picture Perfect! As you can see by these screen caps and the smiles on all ten of our faces (while riding and as we relaxed at Joe Black’s Café) after 2 & 1/2 hours of cruising pathways and carving up snow packed single track! Good times and worth of a snappy video. But for now, check out the gallery:

Thanks Greg. Hopefully our next night ride will be ‘photo-ambushed’ by you!
