Mrs.  Huffy and I went out for a couple of bicycle rides this past weekend on our new bikes. We took a little trip down the Kenai Spur Highway on Saturday afternoon and then cycled from the Soldotna Visitor's Center to the local community college and back on Sunday morning. The weather was spectacular!

Also, you might notice that my new bike is a 'fatbike.'  It has extra large tires to roll over snow, sand, mud, with greater floatation.  I have to say it did an exceptionally fine job on the paved bike trails we rode this past weekend.  I didn't sink into any that stuff.  Not once. It's a cruising machine and I hope to use it for its intended purpose very soon. 

But, for now the paved trails will work for...a weekend of fatbiking.
