Fat Bike Summit 2013 - It’s a wrap!

Wow. Over the years, I’ve been involved with countless events at every level from sponsor to organizer but this year’s Fat Bike Summit and Festival was the most comprehensive event we have been at the head of. After months of conference calls, spreadsheets, emails, and brainstorm sessions, I finally found myself in the van driving up to Island Park Thursday night. At that point, my hope was that everything was simply on cruise control.

Fresh Snow for Fat Bike Summit Race Day

I’ve spent the last week getting ready for the Fat Bike Summit in Island Park. That means writing lists of things we need to bring, coordinating with caterers, checking the registrant list, meeting with Jay P and Fitzy. Well, yesterday I loaded the car and headed north to the Sawtelle Resort in Island Park. I got there in time to pick up lunch and make sure we go extra lunches for all the extra people and get set up. The Summit day of the weekend was a big success: 15 more folks than we expected, a warm reception to the idea of fat biking and great take aways for both land managers and advocates alike. (more…)

Winter Riding: How to Keep Your Head, Face, Hands & Feet Warm

Cold temperatures and high pressure systems often bring the best in fat biking: fast, firm trails with little fresh snow. But it can be hard to motivate to go riding when the temperatures won’t rise above 10 degrees. Keeping your hands and feet warm when on a bike is, let’s face it, a challenge. Today we’re going to talk about how to keep your head, face, hands and feet warm when riding. Don’t worry, we’ll talk about what to wear on your body in a later blog. (more…)
