check the thread, all the fridays for this year are laid out in post 1

I don't completely get the Chameleon and likely a reason so many here have sold theirs in the past year. It's burly, has great geo, but it's heavy for a HT. For NJ I'd like to eventually get a carbon HT which weighs in close to 20lbs like your Superfly.

I was pretty hot on the chameleon until you pointed out the weight. I think my Talon might be lighter lol

Most people are probably waiting to see what happens with the weather. Is only my guess.

Supposedly 1-3" of snow on Friday
My 2.8 tires didn't do too well in the snow at Waway about a month ago.

the nov snow was an odd snow, very slushy (at least by me) riding in that wouldnt have been fun i dont think. Most of the snow we had last year my 2.8s were enough, and made a significant difference over your 'standard' 2.3 width tire. I think the stache (3.0) or fatboy will be even better, but i want to try out the difference between those two to see if fatbikes are overkill for NJ snow or not

Not many trails around here, which I am always driving out to NJ.
On the other hand the pit stop at OH sounds great

If Henoch leads a ride through his urban oasis....I'm all over this. City riding coupled with a pit stop to OH.....Winning!!!!

whats the time period on that? in a year? thats pretty good if so.

a lot of the snow was unbroken trails, even fat bike tires a few inches is tough. I kind of like slugging through at 3-4 mph, YMMV

Most I did in a year is about 1600miles

it was kinda like riding thru mud. Slower speeds is fine but when it just drains energy... its just like argh!

On snow riding...if I make it back from Miami we'll see what a 26" 2.3 can do...

That would be a long, but fun day.

Oh man, did you do the ride on Sunday like that. You are a trooper! I can’t imagine what your legs were feeling like.

Yeah man! Almost 17 miles. There was a lot of complaining
