2. Experts in the FAT since 2007

Togwotee Winter Classic this Saturday!



Greetings Fat Bike Racers & Potential Fat Bike Racers,

 

The 5th Annual Togwotee Winter Classic is a little over a week away! Can you feel the excitement? Are you ready? We have about 30 racers who have already committed. If you haven’t done so, please email me to reserve your spot as I am limited to 50 racers. Please forward this email to anyone you feel might be interested.
 

I will offer two distances again this year. Racers can choose between the 25-mile loop or the 35-mile loop and you may declare your distance the morning of the race. Over the past four years, we have had a variety of conditions ranging from “firm & fast” to “snowy, soft, and slow”. Finish times have ranged from under three hours to epic slogs of over eight hours. Plan accordingly.
IMPORTANT: There will be a brief pre-race meeting at 8:15 AM inside Togwotee Mountain Lodge’s Fireside Room. This is the same room we gather in after the race.

 

Please spend a little time at the Togwotee Winter Classic Blog looking at previous race results as well as the map and route sheets. Don’t hesitate to email me with questions.

You need to speak up for Cycling!


We need you to help us maintain pressure on Congress for a smart, modern transportation bill. Both chambers of Congress are moving towards floor debates on their versions of the bill, so we are again asking you to take action.

The current Senate transportation bill (MAP-21) weakens walking and biking programs. To improve the bill, we’re asking senators to vote for a bipartisan amendment to guarantee local governments a voice in transportation decisions and allow them to build sidewalks, crosswalks, and bikeways that keep people safe.

In the House, we are asking representatives to oppose the House transportation bill. Despite the fact that walking and bicycling infrastructure is a low-cost investment that creates more jobs per dollar than any other kind of highway spending, the House bill eliminates dedicated funding for walking and biking altogether.

Will you contact your Representative and Senators today and ask them to save our streets? Take Action Now!

Senate: Support the bipartisan Cardin-Cochran amendment
As written, the Senate’s transportation bill removes dedicated funding for walking and biking and (more…)

1st Annual West ‘n Back - This is how it happened…



Local cycling adventure king ping, Jay Petervary, said to me one day this Fall, “Do you really understand?” To which I instinctively responded, “Of course I do. And how dare you ask that?” Sure, I had no idea what he was referring to, but I’m not about to answer no to a question like that from a guy like him. (more…)
