Fat Tire Snow Biking Hartman Creek State Park Green Loop – December 28th, 2022

Fat tire snow biking in Wisconsin is unpredictable where we live. Trail conditions need to be monitored very closely. If it is too warm, the groomed trails can be ruined for the remainder of the winter. The temperatures this winter are unusually warm which makes for only a few good days to ride. The volunteers and trail stewards are doing an excellent job grooming and keeping the trails in excellent condition. Hartman Creek State Park is a great place to snow bike and you can check current conditions by going to the Cronies Trail Crew Facebook Page.

The Fat Tire Snow Bike For This Ride

Built from many components from other bikes, the fat tire snow bike, named snowball, is a single speed. The tires are four inches wide and depending on snow conditions I use between 4 to 8 psi of pressure. The softer the snow conditions the lower the tire pressure used. If tire pressure is too low, the rolling resistance becomes unbearable and you can burn a lot of energy going nowhere.

The Cykelstrom Bicycle Power Meter App has a setting called “Fat Tire Mode” under the settings portion of the options menu. Fat tire mode modifies the power estimate calculation to account for the higher rolling resistance of the four inch tires. To learn more about how to configure settings, see the article Customizing Cykelstrom Through Settings.
