I have mixed emotions on this one... A) I am happy with my new bling...White Bros. carbon fork for the Mukluk...its a race machine, now! B) I smashed my thumb between a trailer hitch and tongue yesterday and had to have surgery on it, so I can't ride for at least a month offroad.  |

Hope you are doing ok Mike. How did the surgery go? Good I hope. The question now is who is going to take your place on your fatbike team at Wausau? I only ask because this could really skew the pool.  Get better soon and the fork looks awesome! |
