I'm fast but, I'm not that fast, just half fast! An old guy who rides his bike whenever he can and trying to prove that you're never too old to ride! I've had a heart attack, a titanium hip, and a host of other things but you have to keep moving!

Fat Biking Minnesota - Fat Bike Season is Here - Duluth, MN
It looks like we may actually have a season for fat biking in Northern Minnesota! Last year was a bust but this year is shaping up to be a little bit better. We don't have a deep snow base yet but I'm hoping we'll get there! Right now there's only a few inches of packed snow on most areas of the trails although there are some areas that have quite a bit more.
As you can see from the footage, the trails are riding pretty dang good! Still a little narrow as it looks like they've not had a chance to groom the trails yet but hopefully we'll get some more snow soon to build up the trails. Our ride was a little short, mainly as I had some stuff to do in the afternoon. We clicked off almost five miles at decent temperature of 24F. At one point I mention my tires and for some reason I mentioned Schwalbes. I'm actually running studded Terrene Cake Eaters on my Reeb Donkadonk.
Anyhow, a nice ride on a Saturday afternoon. I appreciate you riding along! If you would please subscribe, share, and hit that like button. Much appreciated! Now, get outside!

Global Fat Bike Day 2024 - Make Ready the Fat Bikes
มุมมอง 360วันที่ผ่านมา
Global Fat Bike Day is upon us! I always try and catch a ride on the day and use it as an annual excuse to get on the fat bike! This year however, temperatures are predicted to hit 40F which it has already done as I edit this video. Since temps were expected to get above freezing around 10:00am, I decided to get out on the trail for an early ride and was at the trailhead around 6:00am for a spi...
First Fat Bike Ride on Thanksgiving 2024 - Ice, Snow, and Dirt!
มุมมอง 63714 วันที่ผ่านมา
Temps have been below freezing and I always like to take a spin on Thanksgiving Day to get an early start on some exercise. At 62, the older I get the harder it seems to burn up some calories. Sent a message to some friends who reluctantly joined in for a 9:00am ride with temps starting in the high teens. It actually warmed up a bit into the low 20's F but still made for a nice ride.

Old Guys Mountain Biking - Chunky Piedmont - Duluth

The boys and I got out for another skinny tire ride before the snow flies. We were able to spin the mountain bikes around the Piedmont trail system one last time. Although, there's a slight possibility of one more ride tomorrow depending upon the overnight temps. When it drops below freezing overnight and above freezing during the days, the trails can get really sloppy and soft in a hurry. This...

Hard to believe it's the middle of November in northern Minnesota. We're still able to get out on the mountain bikes although probably not for much longer. Took a spin on the MTBs with Jim and my son today. It's always a great day when you get out on the trails and today was no exception. I haven't been out in about three weeks due to getting sick and trying to finish up the interior of my new ...

The All American trail is still awesome but it seems to be more broken up now and sections have been closed the ...
Mountain Biking for Seniors - Tioga Recreation Area

Jay and I decided to run out to Tioga Recreation Area to get in a little mountain biking in the Fall leaves, and hopefully a little less wind. It was a high wind warning day with gusts into the upper 20's and it looked to be clearing up a little sooner out in the Grand Rapids, MN area so I loaded up the Ibis Exie and headed out. Temperatures were running in the low 50's and probably in the fort...
Minnesota Mountain Biking - Old Guy Having Fun!

Decided to mountain bike Mission Creek and head down the Indigenous Land trail. I'm a senior citizen and generally and old mountain biker! That being said, I might have to have a shoulder replacement in the coming months so I decided to do a fairly easy ride today. Finished up at just over 20 miles but it was easy rolling with some climbing but, not a lot of chunk to go easy on my shoulder. Thi...
Senior Mountain Bikers - Piedmont Trails, Duluth, MN
มุมมอง 5282 หลายเดือนก่อน
Mountain biking in your sixties can make you a little cautious at times! I do like the rush and thrill of speed and doing what might sometimes be considered stupid things on a mountain bike. I wasn't sure where we were riding today so I just threw my Ibis Exie in the van as it's typically. my go to bike anyhow. We ended up rolling around Piedmont and Brewer where the Exie works on a lot of the ...

I completed the Race Across Duluth last Saturday so I've been kind of doing shorter rides this week. Today, I decided to pedal the Ibis Exie for a spin around Mission Creek.

I'm sure I'll post another video when the time c...

I actually miss biking in Duluth I've only found a few areas to do a few things slightly tricky I'm now near lake mille lacs
Looks and sounds like it would be a lot of fun I'm sure the bike co-op what is representing that day
Looks like a great time guys!!!!
Any time on the bike is a great time! Thanks for watching!
Are you running a dropper or am I not seeing this correctly? Do you find it important or just slightly useful on the Fatty?
Yes, I do run a dropper on the Fatty. I find it important but, I would also say it also depends upon how aggressive of a rider you are. Most of the trails I ride have some technical areas as well as some downhill sections which makes the dropper really useful. Thanks for watching!
Nice ride! I just got back from a night ride. We have about a foot of packable powder in the woods where I am in the Berkshires. Lets hope we get a lot of snow this winter!
For sure! We starting off good since the ski hills have already opened up. Just sucks that it got up to 40F today! Ride on!
So true , takes longer to heal now. Luckily our generation were made of tougher stuff as our parents were even tougher ( no choice ). Hope this gets you closer to a least a sticker or something from TH-cam. Have a good one Hugo. ( Gees , some snow here would be nice )
Much appreciated!
Hey huggy. Benji on the comments. Saw your snow shots. Wish I was there!!!!! I love the snow job. Used to be a snowman. Ok , keep it going brother, you're 3/4 fast in my eyes.
Thanks Benji!!
Spoilt for excellent tracks there Hugo, ,once again superb vistas.
Thanks! Definitely some great riding there!
Hugo, have you ever thought of doing guided tours for older riders?
Not really but, I would really enjoy that! Probably something I should consider as I mainly ride with older riders anyhow. Thanks for watching!
What beautiful scenery and fairly well kept tracks. Did I hear you say you weren't using an ebike ? If so , Excellent. Good watch Hugo.
No ebike. I do have one though and mainly use it for recovery rides where I want to ride but don't want to push it. Thanks for watching!
What are your thoughts on pogies ? Do you ever use them? Cheers from Stillwater MN
I do have pogies and use them when it gets down in the teens or lower. In my opinion, there a must have for below 0F. You can also throw chemical heaters in them for some additional warmth. I have several different pairs and they all work well. I've never had an issue getting my hands out when I need to. Thanks for watching!
Good watch and good to see more and more of us 60+ mtb riders still out there giving it a go. Could do with some of that lower temprature here in Qld Australia . At present 30C average , wet and humid , perfect for bone aches . So I thought Thanks Giving was a christmas thing in the US ?
Separate holidays. Down to -2F this morning! Ride on, and thanks for watching!
💯👊💪
Thanks for watching!!
Nice ride! We got 3 or 4 inches here in the Berkshires where I live. I'm hoping to get out on the trails later. Thanks for the inspiration!
Just do it! Thanks for watching!
Great video. All American is one of my favorites. The castle is a great trail network and well worth the climb to get there.
For sure! All good trails! I like Hand Cut Hollow as well but, you do have to climb up. Thanks for watching!
You are an inspiration!! I’m 48 and just started mountain biking this past summer and I can’t get enough!! I’m not as great at it as you are and still have a lot of fear but I’m out there! You’ve gained a subscriber! Keep being awesome
Much appreciated! It is addictive and keeps me motivated. Thanks for watching and subscribing!! Ride on!
Long way from the milk crate we used for yrs. with dirt bikes. Oh and the milk crate works on e mtn bikes as well. Readily available and double duty as storage bins.
For sure, and a lot cheaper too! Thanks for watching!
@@halffasthugo Enjoy your rides and videos. Never traveled to your neck of the woods. Been up to Whistler and Squamish though. Mostly stay south around ark. louisiana and miss. lil bit of tx. I`m from Louisiana not much rocks and mtn. here. We got them rooooots though.
Was up in June of this yr. 2 wks. after the storm. Damage was unbelievable. Only about 8 trails were open. Opt. to ride down at Devils Den. Bentonville is nice riding whether you are mtn. biking, gravel riding or the greenway. Disney world for bikers for sure. Wish you well with your shoulder. I`m 72 and have a right one that needs some love. E bikes I build and ride make the difference at our age. Cheers.
Should surgery eval at Mayo in January! Thanks for watching!
Nice....since I ride by myself I missed some trails there. I'll have to hit those now that I know where they are.
I just ordered one, how stable is it on the grass?
I actually haven't tried it on grass. I guess it would depend upon how soft or deep the grass is. I've only used it in my garage. Thanks for watching!
Great footage! Been there a few times. Always fun!👍🏻
For sure. Lots of fun trails and they're building news ones all the time. Thanks for watching!
No 🌪️this tome
For sure!!
Bentonville is on the bucket list.
Definitely some fun riding and a lot of trails in the area for all skill levels! Thanks for watching!
Great riding! I love the cooler temps for riding!
Thanks! The temps have been awesome! 59F on today's ride. Thanks for watching!
Ha, this popped up on my TH-cam feed. I’m 64, still ride. I do trail and down hill bike parks. I’m ALWAYS the oldest dude out there. You give me hope.
Yup! Gotta keep riding on!! Thanks for watching!!
looks like you are on a ebike .... why not telling us about it ?
On that ride I was on my Ibis Exie which is not an ebike. I do have an eMTB, a Pivot Shuttle SL, which you can find a quick review of on my channel. Thanks for watching!
Whats up Hugo , those are really pretty trails , "nice & flowy" good job , tks for the vid !
Thanks for watching!
I've only ridden that trail in the winter and in the opposite direction. I'll have to try it again going the direction that you went. It would be bad to be going downhill fast, come around a corner, and encounter a hiker (walking a dog?). There's not much room on those high exposure sections.
It's definitely fun going downhill! I've ridden it both ways and it's much more fun going down. However, I've also ran into hikers/bikers in both directions which does make it sketchy! Thanks for watching!
What brand and model are you riding?I haven’t written my like new mountain bike in over four years and I’m thinking about getting electric mountain bike so I can get some fresh air and exercise. I just need a little boost to get over those hills.
In this video I'm riding a Reeb Sqweeb. My eMTB is a Pivot Shuttle SL. There are a lot of really good eMTBs out there if you're looking for one. Prices are starting to come down too! Thanks for watching. Ride on!
@@halffasthugo I might buy one of these Yamaha bikes that are on sale. They look good enough for driving on dirt roads out here in the southwest. Thanks for the reply and have a great day.
Another great ride for you Hugo. I'll be up in a week or two. Maybe I can grab a ride with ya! We met at a trail head for Piedmont.
Sounds like a plan!
Umm, maybe if your 4ft tall, its way too low!
That is one thing that sucks about it!
Pull up a chair and sit down.
Pull up a chair.
That was such an amazing day on the bike. We drove up from Northfield to participate.
Definitely fun! Ididaride in January down in FL is a fun one too, with 1/3 of the climbing. Thanks for watching!
Just subscribed Hugo. Keep on keepin on dude!!!!!
Much appreciated! Thanks for watching!
Nice job Byron!! 🎉
Nice ride , seems like a nice trail system with a bit of everything ! I'll turn 67 this weekend & can't wait to hit my local chunky trails ! Hey iam gonna do this as long as possible, don't ever wanna stop ! Rock on Hugo 👍
The Piedmont Trail system does offer a bit of everything. I normally like the chunky stuff a lot but, I have some serious arthritis in my shoulder right now that makes it super annoying. Oh well, still pedaling! Thanks for watching and ride on!!
Keep going Hugo!!!!! Getting an Exie soon!!!! Made in the USA!!! HOPE YOUR SHOULDER IS ALRIGHT. I NEED A NEW HIP AND I HAD A REEB SQUEEB TOO!!! YOU AND I HAVE ALOT IN COMMON DUDE!!! JUST TURNED 59.

Can't pray it away. At the least I need a pop top camper. See, I'm in West Palm Beach FL and rent is about 1500$ a month for a one room bad neighborhood. Spent my money buried my mom. On disability. Barely getting by. Gov housing is full. I'm not able to make it on skid row. Epilepsy and health problems. So ....BOOM. the ride on the ridge.

Thanks. Your one of the good ones @@jtc1947

Oh yeah Hugo, you should see droid. Andy brawn. Been through a million drug addiction problems ad finally got clean for more than a a couple years. Both arms and chest covered in ink, married rides a Harley,hard core cigarette smoker. He's nuts.
Yeah, I want to ride. I have a electric assist mountain monster. I love that area but never hit that trail. Hook me up. Ok huggy. I'll wait for the go ahead. Dale Lezenski.

Hey Hugo.. I just discovered your feed... love it... we are same age... I Mt bike AND rock and ice climb... so happy I can still at this age.. What is that buzz sound coming from your bike when your coasting?
Awesome!! You have to keep moving! The buzzing sound is the Industry 9 rear hub when I'm not pedaling. My bikes either have the buzzing I9 hubs or Onyx hubs which are silent. Thanks for watching!
Glad to see another fellow biker NOT on a E bike !
I do have an ebike but I almost always grab one of my analog bikes. The ebike can be fun but I mainly use it for days when I'm beat but still want to ride. I log way more miles on my analog bike! Thanks for watching! Ride on!
Nice job. I’m not sure I could do it? Might have to try someday, not race though. Ride on 🤘
I'm sure you can! You just have to pace yourself. My goal was to finish the ride and not as a race. I did shave 45 minutes off of last year's ride so I was happy with that! Ride on!

Would you recommend riding the traverse in that direction? I've heard a lot of people say to rideitfrom Mission Creek to Lester
I've ridden it both ways and don't really have a preference. It seems a little better starting at Mission but they both end with a downhill run. Fun either way though. Thanks for watching and ride on!
I bought the new Pivot Shuttle AM this spring. I’m 54 and just rode Jackpot/HighClimber for the second time in three weeks. That is one of the best trails in MN and as a Clyde I wouldn’t be able to do this trail without the e-bike. I use it at Cuyuna as well. I still ride my analog bike on all the MORC trails. I use the eco assist mode the most. The people that say it is cheating have never ridden one. I rode 32 miles today and I was sweat soaked and tired when we were done. I have ridden the SL and it is an absolute rocket ship. Love that bike!!
Whats up Hugo ? Great riding my man , iam just about to turn 67 and still riding , been at it for about 27yrs. , still climbing, jumping & dropping , you gotta love it ! Totally addictive & cant wait to hit the trails again . The trick is "never stop" . Age is only a number . Thanks for the video ! Happy Trails
Much appreciated! Age is just a number. I look in the mirror and say who the heck is that guy. Thanks for watching and ride on!
I'm 51, you are my new hero!!!
No hero! Just an old guy who pushes the limits! Thanks for watching!

You should! It's a fun ride. Long, but fun! Well supported with snacks and drinks and great a great experience on Duluth trails. Thanks for watching!
