- An opportunity to get out of the house and make use of the fat bike led me to the Corry Junction Greenway Trail.

Hi Josh, I've just got back from some more "galavanting" down the narrow country lanes of Derbyshire, so I've only just got to watch your latest video.
Firstly, thank you so much for your lovely comments about my channel, it came as such a surprise I nearly spilt my brew...🤣
I'm so pleased that I had a part in influencing you to do this ride, and I must say what an enjoyable journey you took us on.
I've now learnt what a woodchuck is (I previously thought it was someone who worked in the forestry industry...🤣) and I never knew that cottonwood trees would make such a recognisable noise in the wind.
Love all the camera angles you used in the video, especially the additional "rear view" footage (it's given me the idea to maybe try something similar).
Anyway, thanks for taking us along on the Corry Greenway ride.
Take care my friend. All the best, Dave...🚴🏻♂
Hey Dave... I'm eagerly awaiting your next video!!!
A woodchuck, ground hog, and gopher are all the same thing. A bit like a prairie dog I suppose. By all means take the rear view camera technique and run with it... I'm looking forward to seeing how you use it.
presidential moment, lol. I shall use that forever.
@@TheAmerz1 I’m fortunate that it just came out without thought.
You could always build out a "gravel" bike from a hybrid or old 26" mtb. I built out my 1998 Barracuda XC URT frame into a softtail gravel bike that I plan on riding on the Katy Trail in Missouri next year.
I have two 90’s hybrids that I’d classify as unconventional gravel bikes. Both of which I’ve unintentionally managed to avoid making videos about .
People get busy .. I don’t always make the slow roll rides no biggie
Much neater than something that's not neat...HAH!!! Mornin' Josh! Perfect daystarter!
What can I say? I do the best I can with what I’ve got. Have a great day friend!
Back at ya, Josh. Looking forward to seeing you in a few more weeks!
@@mfosiecki going to be fun!
Always happy when you post a video! Hope you are doing well Josh.
Thanks so kindly! I hope and trust you are well… as well!
I'll be there in a couple of days.
It’ll be a hoot!
Another great ride and chat. You’ve just dug into my deep fears of finding a body. Not too worried about the squatches though.
Lololol!!! I’m probably more likely to find a body in the neighborhood where I work. A block up from the shop someone dumped their girlfriend on the side of the street after she overdosed in the car. And they found someone in the park across the street on at least one occasion.
Nice to get out of the city I'm sure. I remember seeing Woodchucks when we were there. We don't have them here. No Samsquantches either lol. I know what you mean about the fat bike.
You don't have woodchucks (groundhogs)? Really?! Well I'll be! I thought they'd be all across the US. Whadaya know?!
Love the video mate 👍 great fat bike. Dont seem so see any of those around the UK 🤔
Thanks friend! Another said of a fat bike that it’s like riding a waterbed. I thought that was spot on. Maybe you guys don’t get the snow we do here in the states?
Looking forward to getting a minute to see your fork service video. Something I know nothing about.
I hear ya on that fat tire. My buddy has one of those high end Kona XC MTB's with some 3inch WTB tires. And its just so slow an loud. 700mm bars. Its just to much bike for casual riding but a do everything bike like you said. I guess thats why they make a variety of bikes... to each his own! Anyhoot... good to seeya bud! Im glad things are going well and I appreciate the update. Good to see ya cruise on the 2s!
Another posted about a fit bike being like riding a water bed… he’s not wrong.
Your buddies bike sounds like a good time… so long as you’re not trying to get anywhere in a hurry.
Thanks friend. I hope to be back again soon.
@EriebyCycle lmao! A water bed 🤣 that's hilarious! If pillows were tires. Lol!
@@billywood9717 lol… have a good week homie!
@EriebyCycle hey, you too, my friend! I'm sure it's been hard to balance everything in life with school and new challenges, but hopefully, you get time to ride more!
I have 3 fat bikes. I love to ride them, probably more than any of my other bikes, even though I ride my gravel bike the most (exercise reasons). I always think of them as a Cadillac. 2 are rigid and one has front suspension and it's like riding a water bed. It's fantastic! They are slow though. Admittedly, I like the road howl I get when I wind em up. 🙂 I did have to laugh at the "Presidential moment" comment. At this point, chuckling at it is all we can do.
I put a Axiom rack on the back of my Minnesota, because this bike and Randy and Nova have rubbed off on me, but seeing this reminds me, I need to put my fenders on as well. The rear fender is gona take some ingenuity, and I spaced it off.
“Like riding a waterbed.” Hahahahajhajj!!!!!! You nailed it perfectly!!!
Here I’ve got a planet bike big buck fudged under the axiom rack. Works well.
@@EriebyCycle That's the exact one I got, because of seeing it on your bike. I especially like how the front fender covers so much of the tire, compared to a lot of fat bike fenders. I just need to make it happen and get the rear figured out.
@@johndunbar2393 oh neat! I’m fond of both the rack and the fenders.
I’ll see if I can make time to make a short video about how I fudged the fender into the rack. I managed to do it without ruining it. It’s kinda halfassed but it’s not stupid if it works!
