Got in a wee quick ride on the coast on Saturday from Gullane, amazing how in just over an hour how much of a micro adventure you can have, a high tide and a big swell from the North Sea pushed in by a strong wind made for quite a wild sea, and a cool 3 degrees Celsius, with a bit of winter sunshine it was perfect...
Along with Jason our two pugsleys were joined by a new fat bike now rolling on the east coast...
Friend Andy has got a new Salsa Mukluk, this is i think the first Mukluk in Scotland that we know of or have heard about on line on the forums etc, first around here anyway, it came via our friends The Bike Chain in Edinburgh, oh they have a demo 18" Pugsley too -:)
It was a squeeze between the surf and rocks in places but in just over an hour we did a loop east of Gullane to Yellowcraig and back...
White horses...
Big rollers in Freshwater Haven...
Andy loves his new bike!...
Wild!...
Out of the crate the Mukluk is near ready to go for Beach riding, nice wide 82mm rims give a more noticeable foot print, frame sizes are different at 13,15,17,19, and 21" to the Surly 16,18,20,22" giving different top tube lenghts so there is the perfect size fat bike for everyone...
For a change i took my SD Tachyon 2010 XC camera and did some filming, left running for the whole ride the SD files upload really quickly and upload real quick onto Youtube, not as good quality but i do like its shaky cine camera effect and that halo glow around the sun. Not used this camera for a while but it is so simple to use and quick to attach on and off the helmet with the 3M snap velcro...
Here is a long film, 120 mins edited to 20 mins, mostly slow techie riding...
