Greetings fat-bike brethren! Global Fat-bike Day Eve is upon us and your erstwhile Weekly Dose of Fat Hosts Sven, Gomez and J.K. Livin are a travelin’ to points north in the state of Minnesota to bring you a special Weekly Dose of Fat Global Fat-Bike Day Holiday Special or, as it is known internally, Show #115. And, on that special show from the Freewheel Bike Expo on the Greenway in Midtowne, we welcome not one, but 4 special guests; Jake Helmbrecht from Freewheel, Sov from Surly, Alex from Bontrager and Andy from HED Wheels to talk fat-bikes and Global Fat-bike Day. Join us tomorrow at 8AM CST, won’t you?

Sven, Gomez and J.K. made a stop at HED Cycling to check out the latest in Carbon and Aluminum fat and plus bike rims. Learn more from Andy tomorrow on Show #115.

Meanwhile, don’t forget Global Fat-bike Day tomorrow and check out these events that may be in your neck of the woods. Join them if you can. If you can’t, go for a ride with YOUR friends.
