Thanks Bruce for organising this great event. I was only there for the day but clearly everyone was having a good time - the hangovers proved it!
Todays ride was trail, beach and rock. .Lots of surprised locals at the buzz of 40 odd 4" tyres rolling through town. We made it to the submarines then came back for chips and beer.
Not only did I meet some big cheeses from Surly but they bought me a beer and said my bike was cool and asked how I made it.

Big tyres and a small pic al? 😆
Looks brilliant! Good work Coastkid
A couple of videos I shot of the floatilla heading through North Berwick en route to the trails this morning while I was waiting for the guys from Surly to arrive...
Swift edit there al.
Well done Coastkid , looks ace. Hopefully the Surly big cheeses pay head of Bruce's years of promoting fatbikes and the Surly brand he deserves It.
Would have been instantaneous if my pc hadn't hung up, stu.
Pics look great Al, feeling the love for fat.
My first ride on a Moonlander and what a way to do it, with several other moonlanders and at one of the biggest gatherings of fat bikes outside the USA 😀
The beaches/trails were majestic, the weather was spot on, the guys from Surly were huge, and saturday night left many sore heads!
So glad we made the effort to take the fat bikes up the law after Saturdays ride, it was the cherry on the cake.
Thanks Bruce!
I was in NB on Saturday and thought there was unusually high number of fat bikes and beards around...
Nice on Bruce, sounds like a great event...
Cheers for sharing your trails Coastkid.
40 Fat Bikes in one area as something else

Anyone thinking of getting a fat bike a little tip off.
Fat Fifth will be around 5 to 6 months away and a little more UK central or southern, get buying one now.
Thanks to all who turned up 🙂
Was a hoot, Saturday evening in the pub drinking with Eric and Tyler from SURLY was hilarious! 😀
How we cycled on Sunday i don`t know...
Thanks to all who helped out with vans,tail-endcharlie work,buying beer etc... 😉
Build it and they will come...

"Leave no man behind"
Jason and Barry get a mention in despatches 🙂
Some film
Good film there Bruce - superb route chosen for Saturday
Good stuff.

Pics look great Al, feeling the love for fat
A friend of yours (Colin S) has an itch now too after a loan of my Pugsley for the weekend 🙂
He too has found how much fun they are on regular trails... 🙂

[quote=duckman ]Ace pics,what is the hollowed out pen on the rock slabs (man made)
That's the smallest commercial harbour in [s]the world[/s], [s]Europe[/s],[s] UK[/s], Scotland... or something like that
Jack Dales harbour is famous for being cut out of the Geddon Rock by compressed air using a steam engine in 1890 by the previous estate owner Andrew Laidley.
The flat hull creel boat that is moored in side during calm seas uses a system of pulleys to stop it smashing on the sides of the harbour from the swell...
It does indeed hold claim to being the smallest commercial fishing harbour in the world 😀
Amazing wee place to visit... 🙂
Tyler from SURLY seemed to enjoy himself 🙂

One last thing to do... 🙂
Was standing on that wee harbour wall last week 😀
Love Seacliff beach and Tantallon castle.
