Cold Bear Challenge Winter Racing Series #3 (FatBike Festival) - Minnesota
February 12, 2012
The Cold Bear Challenge Race Series is one of the most established winter bike competitions in the lower 48. There’s 3 races in the series with a fat-bike festival on February 12th, complete with shennanigans, according to long time race director Rich Omdahl. Rich is the man behind the grandaddy of all winter race series up at Hillside Park in Elk River, Minnesota. Hillside Park has 8 miles of tight singletrack that is groomed all winter for fatbike riding.
Greg Smith, known to many site visitors as Sven Hammer, founded Fat-bike.com in 2011 and the site quickly became the #1 online community for all things Fat. A lifelong rider and storyteller, Greg has been covering fat-biking since 2011—sharing news, reviews, art, and adventures from the trail, beach, and back alley. Based in Milwaukee, he blends cycling culture with a punk rock edge across podcasts, blog posts, and community events.
