I strategically left the Moonlander in the van yesterday in the hope that I would be able to leave work early and sneak in a ride before I took the kids fishing in the afternoon. I busted ass to get my work done and headed for the river bottoms at the Bloomington Ferry Bridge. I'm not sure, but I think the water was up from yesterday,but defiantly deep enough in some spots for a swim. Most of the submerged trail is only axle deep, which makes for a really fun ride. The spot where I got all the way in was at Nine Mile Creek. I was wet to my waist already, and wanted to see if my upper body could tolerate the cold water when I stepped off an underwater ledge and fell in. The bike floated so well I decided to cross the creek and continue on to 35w, where I turned around and rode back.

| This is in about four feet of water, you can see how well it floats |

| I was surprised to see this lily pad flowering already |

| The water is well over my head here, you can see "the raft" and a barge in the background |

ReplyDeleteI have drilled a 2.5mm hole in my frame under the BB - should come as standard like the pugsley!
It will take your weight as the pug did when i did a floatation test film!

ReplyDeletesunday morning, I'm planning on going back, in greater numbers. If you don't have a fat-bike get some arm floaties and put them on the bike.
