I have been riding regularly dispite the cold wet weather. I once thought I was a purist and never would buy fenders. I guess I am getting wiser because I have no idea what I was thinking not to buy fenders years ago. I bought a SKS front fender and a rear fender as well. I started with a fender in the front. No more mud in the eyes. The rear fender adjusts nicely fit around the tire- minimizing mud on the back. Here are a few pics over the last few months.

Made it to the top! |
For quite a while, we couldn't get very high up the mountain. This is the top of what it now called Panther Point. The handgliders launch off of this spot now.
