Glad you're back on the trails! The bike looks good.
36.1 lbs with the Bluto. Then add weight of spare tube, levers, multi-tool. Still working on which pump to carry. Its lighter than the Surley Ice Cream Truck Ops my LBS owner just got but definitely heavier than some of the more high end fat bike options out there. But with my vision issues and age, going fast holds no interest for me anymore. This bike is about being able to get back in the woods and explore on two wheels, and this bike is going to be perfectly capable of doing that within the budget I had to work with. Plus, I'm pretty sure after this first 10 mile loop that going fat is going to be a whole big pile of fun. Brought back the feeling of my first mountain bike, a Ross Mt. Whitney that I bought 30 years ago, and being able to dump pavement for fire roads and trails.
Thanks.

This is great glad you like it! Your trail system look like a ton of fun, way to get after it.
Its about 16 miles divided into 4 sections. Some of it was built years ago and is getting long in the tooth but my trailbuilding group is steadily bringing everything up to sustainable IMBA standards. I'm gonna try to hit my other local trail this weekend. Its only 4 miles but way more technical.

I think I need a bigger truck!
I have (sadly) been off the bikes for some time. I have been wanting to get back into riding, and with my cardio and overall physical conditioning at an all time low...I decided I needed a kick in the pants to get going.
2 weeks ago I picked up a 2015 Giant Revolt 0 Adventure Road bike. Not a cross bike, more like a hardy/rugged compact road framed big tired disk braked...um almost cross bike. It is loaded with Ultegra, FSA and some carbon bits as well as a mix of Giant's own parts (bars and stem etc). I must say, it is light and fast, 2 x 11 drivetrain and a sweeeeet DT Swiss wheelset with Giant Branding.
Tweaked my knee the other night while riding it on the trainer in the garage. Ugh.
