Sawyer River Road walk for Carrigain condition ?

[Jay H]

the Mountaineer sells bikes?

If the road is as snowmobiled as it seems to be, you could probably ride it with standard 2.X ish tires frankly. Those super fat tire bikes are more for semi hardpacked snow it seems... I hear ya about the novelty of it, especially this winter..

Road is all good; snow was mushy on Sunday 2/19 being in the sun all day coupled with the snowmobile traffic.

It was pretty cool seeing this guy biking up the road:

He was fun to watch ride indeed. Were you in the group of five that was regrouping at the summer trailhead?

Jill Homer rode this bike. (I'm pretty sure it is the Surly Pugsley, too.) Her book Ghost Trails was a good read. I used to occasionally read her blog while she was in Alaska. Not sure where she is now, but she still has a blog. http://arcticglass.blogspot.com/ I haven't followed it in years.

I like the glove system... probably pretty nice and warm. Wonder if it would work with drop bars?

Gloves = "pogies" you can buy them for winter kayaking and they might actually be workable for flat bars... not sure about the drop bars but they might. I dont think they are tight enough not to handle the bend in the drop bars from where the hoods/brifters are..

Jay, I don’t know for sure of course, but he probably saw one parked outside The Mountaineer, ridden there by a customer.
