Description
The annual 5+ Hours of Light Fat Bike Festival - now in its 14th year! - is the same concept as a 24 hour mountain bike event, but in winter...on snow...on fat bikes. We ride sunrise to sunset. 11:09 am to 4:47 pm.
The event course is on packed Wolf Creek trails that start and finish at the campground. Ride as many laps as you can of our 10 km fat biking loop. Come out for all or part of the day. Participate solo, or as a team (8 people on a team, maximum). In 2019, we had 78 riders who together completed 214 laps, or 1,926 kms total! Can we beat that number this year?
