Today on a rather dreary but not half bad day, a drive out past Sheridan River then turning left onto the next side road, was a perfect way to begin a ride to road test a new fat tire bike from Cordova Gear. Parking in the first turnout to the right was an easy way to get going. The cushy feel of the seemingly big bike is surprising, fat bikes look big and seem like they should be more effort to ride, but they are light and easy to handle. Hopping off and circling around a puddle that could have been deep seemed like a good idea, it was really brown and who knows how deep it was. Then on to an open area and down to the river bed, at first it looked like difficult going but with a shift or two, it was easy riding and the view of Sheridan Glacier from a different perspective was a treat! Sand and gravel with little watery areas (that are clear and obviously not too deep) make it interesting and fun to explore this area. Riding away from the main road and next the Sheridan river with a view of the glacier as the sunshine made more of and effort to shine than it had all day, made the ride a joy! Next time might be a good idea to bring along some bear protection. No bears seen today, but they are most likely nearby. This area is on the list for more exploration soon!
