Penn Cycle Puoli Fat Tire Loppet – 21K


February 5, 2017

The Penn Cycle Puoli Fat Tire Loppet provides a once-a-year chance to ride your fat tire bike on the groomed Loppet Trail. Fat Tire bikes are otherwise not allowed on the snow covered, groomed trail system and mountain bikes or other non-fat tire bikes are never allowed.

The Puoli Fat Tire Loppet starts at 12:30 p.m. on Sunday – after the Penn Cycle Fat Tire Loppet has passed through. Like the 35K event, the Pouli Fat Tire Loppet takes riders on a tour of Minneapolis, starting at Theodore Wirth Park, crossing the Chain of Lakes and finishing at Loppet Village near Lake Calhoun. The Puoli course skips some of the toughest parts of the 35K course and is only 21K long.

The Puoli Fat Tire Loppet generally follows the “red” ski course – with one deviation. Fat Tire bikes are not allowed in the Eloise Butler quadrant of Wirth Park. Thus, when bikers arrive at Glenwood Avenue (first road crossing), bikers turn to the right onto Glenwood Avenue and pick up a short singletrack section starting at Wirth Parkway and Glenwood before re-joining the ski course. There will be signage and course marshals to direct bikers, but bikers are responsible for knowing the course.
