We host a separate fat bike distro email list so that fat riders can find each other especially easy to hit the trails when the conditions and mood strike!
Every Thursday Night except Thanksgiving evening expect a NIGHT RIDE through the END of 2025!! We may add more night rides since Thursday isn’t ideal for everyone. Keep your eyes open!
