• The Fat Bike Safaris will be starting up again on Sundays around 1pm. Starting May 24. How this ride works- Anyone interested in the weekly rides should submit their email to me ( murph007swat@gmail.com) asking to be on the Fat Bike Safari List. I will post the ride information once a week usually Friday night or Saturday morning. Rides are all over the area and are usually best for fat bikes due to sand, snow, mud, etc. The ride is a no-drop but we do not worry about anyone’s speed or ability as long as you can move forward!! Typically the ride will break up in different groups with the lead riders going back and making sure everyone is OK and following the route. After the ride we commonly meet at a restaurant/tavern for refreshments. Right now you will obviously bring your own refreshments and we will have a location with plenty of room to sit and “recharge” after the ride.

I will post the ride information once a week usually Friday night or Saturday morning. Rides are all over the area and are usually best for fat bikes due to sand, snow, mud, etc. The ride is a no-drop but we do not worry about anyone’s speed or ability as long as you can move forward!! Typically the ride will break up in different groups with the lead riders going back and making sure everyone is OK and following the route. After the ride we commonly meet at a restaurant/tavern for refreshments. Right now you will obviously bring your own refreshments and we will have a location with plenty of room to sit and “recharge” after the ride.
