Time to sign up for the Norpine Fat Bike Classic


Time to get some miles in so you can ride or race in the upcoming Norpine Fat Bike Classic. For those not sure what this is, fat-tire bikes are an off-road bicycle with oversized tires, designed for low ground pressure to allow riding on soft, unstable terrain, such as snow, sand, and mud. The wide tires can be used with low-inflation pressures to allow for a smooth ride over rough obstacles. Photo courtesy of the Superior Cycling Association
