Buzzard Gulch Trails on Fat Tad Recumbent Trike

A relaxing afternoon ride southwest of Montrose Colorado. A little ice and lots of rock.

[@johnschmit6815]

1st of all I admire your persistence to ride in back country by yourself!!! I took note of your repair kit items. Thank you.

Looks like a nice day. I haven't been out there for a few years. Sure is a cool area!

[@paulw1365]

Anther great ride love it

[@juselinoamorim8401]

Hi brother! I love you vídeos I want to go to Alaska next year by trike from Brazil to Alaska. Happiness to you

[@rowtator6543]

Wow! Dream big and go for it.👍

[@TheSouthernTriker]

Looks like some tough terrain you travel on and somewhere with snow!

[@rowtator6543]

17° at night here in Western Colorado. It keeps the dirt trails nice and icy. A 6 mile ride "in the country" can take 2 hours. Let's watch your channel grow!

0:54 I see a dip in the road! 😆

[@rowtator6543]

All around, up and down. 😊

[@BobLinton]

3:53 Good job climbing!😉

[@BobLinton]

I hope you revisit this spot my friend.

[@rowtator6543]

Keep it pointing straight up the hill.👍

[@bikeboatboard]

3.5 lbs would be way low for a fat bike tire in snow! This vehicle must be really sticky. Cool!

[@rowtator6543]

I ride fat bike also. Anything below 4 pounds of pressure on that and the tire sidewalls start to wrinkle. When the weight is distributed three ways instead of two, there is a lot less load on each tire.

[@mihkhailgaudette4370]

Interesting crusade, especially all alone! Won'vt your lady travel with you on theSe daunting treks?

[@rowtator6543]

Her cutoff for comfortable riding is 50° We won't see much "dual sport" for a few more months. Thanks for noticing.

[@Stepan693]

👍👍👍😄

Great ride. How many miles are you able to ride out there

[@rowtator6543]

The trails in this area are great! Various routes and loops to take. 10, 15 miles from one road to another. Depending on the day of the week, I can ride 2 hours and not see another person.

Was considering a fairing for my ICE Sprint X Tour trike, but not sure if I would be able to see over the fairing. At £500, would be an expensive mistake if I coudnn't

[@rowtator6543]

Yes, they are expensive. I wish you could buy slightly defective units at a discounted cost. The Windwrap screen is mounted with a tilting arm to raise and lower the screen. As you are riding and your face starts to freeze, you can raise it up and hide behind it.

[@garyseckel295]

Watched. Very pretty scenery, but I thought it was too dangerous. Supposing your phone was able to reach out if needed. Wondered if studded tires would help, OR, if they would get ripped from rocks? Too scary for me!

[@rowtator6543]

Yes, I have aggressive knobby studded tires available, but the ride 7 miles on blacktop roads to the park is a problem.

[@garyseckel295]

Understood!@@rowtator6543

[@mihkhailgaudette4370]

Carrying a lot of gear on that trike. Used for balance, or hauling tools?

[@rowtator6543]

Tools, air pump, tire repair, Green Slime, spare tube, extra lights, and clothes. The most common problem is flat tires from Goathead thistles.

[@johnschmit6815]

Don’t you risk bending your wheel riding on a flat?🐸

[@rowtator6543]

I feel it going flat before the rim is actually bottoming out on the ground. It gets serviced as soon as I notice it. I carry patch kit, a bottle of green slime, an air compressor, and a spare tube. If I don't need it, someone else on the trail may. Goatheads and tires don't get along 😒 Thanks for your comment 👍

[@mihkhailgaudette4370]

Hope your Lady has a good signal on you!

[@rowtator6543]

Yes, the phone signals find their way up the canyons in this area quite well.

[@BlackWarriorLures]

Let me ask, did you have to use the motor at all?

[@rowtator6543]

No, It's not really needed when you're off-road going under 3 miles an hour. That low gear will cog train up any hill. It's good to have the e assist when you're riding to the park on the road.

[@BlackWarriorLures]

@@rowtator6543Ah, understood.

[@douglas1559]

Looks like a good ride exploring trails cool though 🥶 no snow here in Florida 🐊🌴😎thanks for sharing
