Fat Tire Bike Event
The Fat Bike Event at River Bend provides a chance to ride your fat bike on the groomed, snow-covered ski trails! All of the River Bend’s ten miles of trails will be rolled and packed just for fat bikes. Otherwise during the winter a smaller portion of the trails, only seven miles are groomed for cross-country skiers and bikers are limited to a small section of the trails. Our priority is giving skiers the best possible experience all winter. This event is a one day exception to this rule and is for fat bikes.
We will also be doing tours every 90 minutes led by fat tire experts from some of our sponsors. Tours will include biking on some of the best trails at River Bend, a brief history of the grounds, and scenic views.
Sponsors will also have booths in the Interpretive Center showcasing their businesses, fat tire bikes, and other biking equipment. The general public is encouraged to come learn about this new and engaging sport. Demo bikes will be provided for short lessons on fat tire biking. If you have your own fat tire bike stop into the Nature Center that day for your riding pass.
