2019 MTBA Australian Fat Bike National Championships – by Simon Rimmer

Fat Bikes might have been crafted for the snowfields of the northern hemisphere, but they’re as equally at home on loose trails, muddy tracks, and sandy beaches……….and that’s where they’ve captured the attention of Aussie riders ‘cause we’ve got plenty of incredible beaches surrounding our Great Southern Land.

Afterglow Lake Resort – Phelps WI – Northwoods Paradise

The intense sunset photography made me think back to shooting Kodachrome slide film and spoke to one of my life-long passions (photography).
