Therapy season.
Riding some of the sandy trails out in Rio Rancho New Mexico. There is a very thin crust of hard pack that has developed over time on this particular trail. Less than a quarter inch thick. Fat bikes are key to keeping from plowing and pizza cutting through that thin crust. This helps to minimize rutting that can lead to erosion in these candy soils. The soils have the consistency of dune sand in most of this area.

Smoke from distant forrest fires make for some interesting lighting Mariposa fat bike trails.

Some trails shown: Barrel of Badgers and Sledgehammer Trail.

Trailforks can be a good tool
