Pushing fat

To ride a snow bike for 27 miles in 2 hours, a few things are crucial.

Avoid Missoula – too much snow or slush. Instead, head to Bozeman where sunny skies and strong winds dry out the roads. Hope for a break in Bozeman’s usual high winds. Keep your bike tires at 10 pounds of pressure; any more, and you’ll go too far. Finally, be in a “tempo” training mode to push yourself for those two hours.
