Description
Starting and Finishing at the Magnusson trails parking lot on Grey Mountain (2km from Alsek Rd), this event for solo riders or teams of 2, will put your full array of bicycle piloting skills to the test.
The Leg 1: The Gravel Appetizer (we like to call it the... grappetizer) will be an amuse-bouche of double track, proper gravel and some mild singletrack. Riders will take on the Yellow Brick Rd. climb followed by a short, fast descent on Grey Mountain Road to Rollercoaster. Yes. Rollercoaster. Probably the gnarliest sector of "gravel", Rollercoaster will lead you to Peewee Hill. From there, we'll connect you to Charburn Lake Rd. for some honest gravel action before returning up Grey Mountain Rd. to the exchange. LEG 1 ROUTE MAP.
The Leg 2: Mountain Main Course will take be a bit different than previous years. This time we'll be staying above Grey Mountain Rd and include some classic staples like Midtown, Go-T, Mother-T and finishing with a three-scoop sorbet of Magnusson trails (pink, red, green) with a side of Boogaloo.
Find a friend or just make friends with yourself and sign up for the solo full meal deal!

Description
Yukon Fat Tire Fever is a new style of cross-country mountain bike event.
Instead of riders being timed from start to finish, we time just a few sections of the route. Whomever has the fastest combined time on both uphills and downhills wins, but above all we want everyone to simply participate and have fun!
This is not an "enduro" race although the format is similar to enduro racing.
Hardened riders will take on the entire 60 km route themselves.
For those looking for some friendly competition and a memorable experience, Yukon Fat Tire Fever also has a 2-person team category. Each person will ride 30 km (half of the route).
We acknowledge, honour and give thanks that we are able to host Yukon Fat Tire Fever on the traditional territory of the Kwanlin Dün First Nation and the Ta’an Kwäch’än Council.
Registration is closed.
Keep up on the latest photos and videos by following Yukon Fat Tire Fever on Instagram.
Participants in the solo category will ride 1 lap (60 km) of the route by themselves. You must complete a full lap to get a result.
As a two-person team, each rider is required to complete 30 km of the 60 km route. Only one of the two riders will be on the course at a time, meaning you won't ride it together. Instead, you complete them as a relay.
You will not be able to start the next half of the course until your teammate has completed the previous section. At the designated transfer point, your team chip has to be handed off to the next rider.
Each rider will have a timed uphill and downhill section in their half.
When you check in and pick up your bike plate on the morning of August 10, let us know who is riding which half.
Each solo rider will get their own timing chip to carry from start to finish.
Each team will have one timing chip that must be passed from rider to rider at the start of the next section. Team riders will not be allowed to start the next section until their teammate has completed the previous.
Don't lose your timing chip or forget to transfer it. Teams that finish the event without their timing chip will be disqualified and their team will be charged a lost timing chip fee of $150.
Solo riders must use the same bike, start to finish. A similar rule applies to two-person teams, with each person riding their half on their own bike.
There can be no switching of parts, or modifying of parts during the event to optimize uphill or downhill radicalness.
Choose your bike wisely! A bike that climbs efficiently, descends with precision and can handle a high-speed beat down will be ideal.
The name Fat Tire Fever comes from a mountain bike race held annually in Whitehorse during the late 1980s. The original Fat Tire Fever race was organized by Jack MacNeil and Bill Parry every August.
In fact, part of our event route is on the original Fat Tire Fever race course; a sweet high-five to this legacy.
The Yukon has a long and storied history of relay events, in which multiple people form a team and ride portions of a route. The biggest of them all is the KCIBR, now in its 26th year.
Previous mountain bike specific relay events included Mad to the Max and 24 Hours of Light in Whitehorse, and the Golden Loop Relay in Dawson.

Is gravel riding just 90’s mountain biking? Sure, why not!
Bring your purple anodized Onza bar ends, helmet covers, toe clips and chromo bike to the 7th annual Gravel Growler/1st annual Yukon Gravel Championships.
Since houses are no longer $55,000 like they were in the 90s (no research was done whatsoever to determine this number), the race planning committee decided to provide two races for the price of one! And if you’re a Velonorth member, that price is FREE.
While we are on the topic of free, all riders get a free schnitzel and beer. What could be better? $55,000 housing? Well, aside from that. Nothing? We thought so too.

Matt's Aklavik Icebreaker is a supported 120km group bicycle ride from Inuvik to the remote community of Aklavik on the ice road for mental health awareness.
Riders will cycle on Mackenzie Delta river network with spectacular views of the Richardson Mountains along the way. Pictures don’t do this ride justice–you have to experience the environment firsthand.
Prior to departure, mental health professionals from various community organizations will talk about mental health and highlight available resources for those in need.
Together we will work toward ending negative stereotypes associated with mental illness, let everybody know that ‘it’s ok to not feel ok,’ and communicate where people can access support.
The event is named after former ICC member Matt Hamilton, who originally conceived the idea of organizing a group ride to Aklavik. Tragically, Matt died February of 2021.
Studded tires and helmet are mandatory.
