First day out on hills with the Fatty at Gisburn
Have done a few dog walking rides on the canal towpath and found it a good tool for that job , Nice and comfy .

So left the dog at home and went for a spin around Gisburn to see what the beast was like .
After having the urine extracted from my two mates I was happily surprised at it for going up hills and grinning like a fool on the downs .
the only bits that were not so good was the braking bumps down Hully Gully they are very Fat bike unfriendly or maybe I had the tyre pressures a bit high the rest made for a very enjoyable day out

Looking forward to the next day out on the Fatty ๐Ÿ˜†

Tyre pressures too high and not carrying enough speed ๐Ÿ˜‰ There's worse than that on the likes of Pennels Vennel at Glentress and the 9:zero:7 copes just fine.

Is there a Strava segment for that?
