The official declaration.

When I heard there was going to be an official Global Fatbike Day, I knew I would have to come up with plans for a unique adventure.  Since one of my favorite nearby outdoor places is Stormy Lake, I quickly hatched the idea of riding a loop which included: crossing the lake/riding up the road that goes to the swim beach/then pedaling back down the Kenai Spur Highway to the boat ramp.

The weather was beautiful, albeit cold, when I started across the ice.  It really didn't take long (about 40 minutes) before I was at the swim beach stairs where I shouldered the fatbike and carried it up to the parking lot.  I tried riding up the road but the snow was too deep so I pushed the bike to the highway.  From there it was a pleasant cruise to the boat ramp.

And, that was it.  Mrs. Huffy and I loaded our gear back into the truck and drove home.  On our way we were already making plans for the next...Global Fatbike Day.
