Weekly Dose of Fat and Gallery – 1-24-14

Sooo…what’s happening? Well, the Global Fatbike Summit is in session even as we speak in Ogden, UT and our man with a plan, Mark Peterson is on the ground, hopefully still upright, covering the goings on. Look for updates coming soon.

The 50K World Championship Snow Bike Race is happening up there in Michigan.

The Arrowhead 135 kicks off on Monday with a 7AM start. You can follow the progress of the racers here.

If you are in the MKE area a group of the Bike Black Ribbon Test Crew will be doing a little urban assault ride on Downtown Milwaukee on Sunday. The Church of 2 Wheels will be in session!

We have that Gallery thing going on again at the bottom of the page. Send in your shots!
