Extra notes: If we have snow, the trails will be groomed for fat bike use. This is a fat bike race only. A minimum 3.8″ tire size is required for all racers. Oh, and by the way, we have fat bike tires on sale
There you have it! All you need to do now is pick up any last-minute bike parts or cycling accessories you might need. Some favorites include Poagies – they are insulated hand covers that slip over your handlebars, are also very useful for keeping your hands warm.
