I was just in Ottawa last month. Beautiful country.
Air Canada, however, can go jump in a lake.......NEVER again.

They've had their issues - but I think overall are well-regarded.I was just in Ottawa last month. Beautiful country.

Sorry you had a bad experience!
Fat bike season. My favorite time of the year. My son and I were out on Thanksgiving weekend
Great looking trail!
What size is your rear tire? Is that a 5"er? Looks massive. (Said jealously - my Pugs will accommodate no larger than a 4" on the back.)
Yes. The orange bike (Surly Ice Cream Truck) has a 26" Surly Knard on the rear. It SAYS 4.8 but it's a big tire.
My son's Growler fits 27.5 x 4.5. That's a huge tire. That bike will also fit a fatter 26. I think those Vee Snowshoe XXLs will fit in that frame.
My Pugsley runs a 4.8 on the front, and 4.0 back. Wife's Charge Cooker Max is limited to 4.0 front and back.
All of our studded winter tires are 45North.
Early ride this morning - this is taken from the French part of town, looking west toward downtown.
It's definitely fat bike weather today. We're in the midst of receiving 10 to 20 cm (4 to 8") of snow.
Mr and Mrs 35 are complete bada$$es. My wife would NEVER ride in that cold. She's a southern girl. Raised in Florida. Never really figured out how she came to settle in NY.
I am very fortunate to have a wife who will participate in such craziness with me.
I bought my fat bike in the summer of 2015, to be used as a commuter the following winter. So I started riding it when the snow came, probably early November, and she wanted to try it. For whatever sexist reason, I thought she wouldn't be able to ride it, or wouldn't enjoy it. In fact, she loved it, and took to it like a duck to water, so I got her one for Christmas that year.
Hard to believe we've been riding fat bikes for nine years now. Tempus fugit.
Amazing. You're lucky.
Today's ride - out for a late lunch, and losing daylight quickly on the way home.
I still say that bike needs some purple accents.
Building this for my daughter.
We rode out for lunch today. Milder than a few days ago, but the headwind on the way there was brutal. In places we broke trail through fresh snow. It's about 6 km each way, and was slow-going due to the wind and snow. Probably an hour of riding in total.
For the foodies reading this, I enjoyed a burrito crepe with fried potatoes, with a side of salsa and sour cream.

MINUS FOURTEEN DEGREES CELSIUS!!
What's that, about +7°F? Not too bad for January in Winterpeg.
This morning was even milder, but strong NW winds caused a lot of drifting snow.
