Global Fat-bike Day Report From Two Rivers, WI

2014 marked the 2nd year that George Kapitz hosted a big get together for Global Fat-bike Day in Two Rivers, WI. George, who owns the Broken Spoke Bike Studios in Manitowoc and Green Bay, WI, rents a really great house right near Point Beach State Park as an HQ for several rides over the Fri-Sun weekend that bookends Global Fat-bike Day. This year, for good measure, it was a full moon so a Full Moon Beach Ride was part of the festivities. Here are a few shots from the weekend.
