Paging ALL Fat Bike owners

Post by JohnClimber »

I know there are a few Fat Bike riders on here and this isn't a Bivi ride, but if the admin's don't mind I'd like to tell you about Global Fat Bike ride Day on Saturday 5th December.

Us Brits started it but the Yanks have taken it over (as usual :wink: )
The first Saturday of December is this years Global Fat Bike Day, it's where anyone with a Fat Bike (tyre width 3.8" or wider) is encouraged to dust down their monster bike and take it out for a spin, either on your own or in a group.

There are normally several group rides around the UK.

I'm leading the annual Merseyside edition taking in the beaches, sand dunes, miles of sandy single track, ice cream and coffee vans.
We've even got a logo

Meeting up at the south end of Crosby beach here - http://www.streetmap.co.uk/map.srf?x=33 ... 97385&lm=0
9am meet up, 2 to 3pm finish (but with bail points)

Depending on final numbers expect the group to split into 2 at about the 25% mark, with one group doing several more miles and meeting up again for a coffee and all returning back to the start point.

So, far we've got 17 already signed up :-bd

Have you got a Fat Bike?
Do you live within a couple of hours of Liverpool?
If yes and yes, get your name down.

Dear Admin, if this is not suitable please delete it :-bd

Maybe do something in South Wales. Liverpool is a touch far...

I'll check in on the UK Fat Bike forum and see what's what.

Contact Tim down your way, I'm sure the 2 of you could make a fantastic route up between you.

Post it up on the Fat Forum and they will come

Am planning something but there are so few fatty riders in Chamonix that it'll likely be just me!

Still, solidarity and all that.....

I noticed in La Praz a guy hiring out fat bikes, quite tempting to go back in the winter

Yeah, on-one's if I remember correctly.

I'd be surprised if there aren't a few places to his this winter.

Come on out, the trails area empty!

That's a thought, might persuade the wifey to go for a fat bike ride on day whilst we're over there. For some reason I had it in my head he wouldn't hire them in the winter :roll:
