Fat & Flurrious race update!! There are still some pending permissions for the event, however we are working hard to have a virtual race this year!
❄❄❄❄
There will be a date range when you can complete the predesignated and self supported loops per your class. The exact courses and dates are TBD! However, if all goes through, there will be some cool new features this year that a virtual event has granted us. Also, this year ALL proceeds go towards TOMMBA for new trail development! Thank you for your patience and feel free to message us with any questions.

Soft opening announcement... more details soon!
❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️

Yes the Series is on rain, snow, freeze, thaw or pandemic.

There will be five events. Currently, Fat Chance and Dogman will be in person. Fat & Flurrious, A special Vasa replacement event and Huma Loopa Licious will be virtual.

Rather than scoring points and awarding cash prizes for the top finishers this year, each racer that registers for all five races will be sent a prize.

Watch here or our website for more details. www.sbfbs.com

Thanks everyone for a great race!

COURSE REPORT:
❄️❄️❄️
Just got done grooming and taping the course. The trail is going to be like riding on a sidewalk tomorrow!
👍👍👍
Points of consideration:
1. We forgot to take a picture today so this one is from last year
2. If we get a ton of snow, everything will be groomed again at 3 am. If that is the case, please buy Ron a beer.
3. The road right after the pavement will be icy.
4. Be sure to thank the crew at Short's Brewing Fat Bike Series SBFBS!
5. In your packet, there is one very important piece of paper, PLEASE read it!
6. Brakes slow you down, so go easy on them. Have fun tomorrow!

Weather update:
❄️❄️❄️
1. Yes, we are getting some warm weather from now until tomorrow afternoon.
2. It will dip below freezing Friday evening. The course will become very firm and fast for Saturday!
