Kit Monsen made a movie about a bike trip he calls the Tour de Dovre that includes a recipe for Reindeer Stew. Don’t worry if you can’t get a tasty reindeer, you can substitute venison, lamb, or carne de gnome in a pinch. It’s like a cooking show and a fat-bike video all wrapped in […]
A few weeks back I set off to do this bikepacking trip but bailed as I wasn’t in the ‘zone’. I was pretty gutted as the weather was perfect, no wind, no cloud and the chance of a great sunrise. Fast forward 4 weeks and I wasn’t going to let it go as I again […]

3 weeks after filming my SLATE video I made a return to the area as a friend of mine, Allen, really wanted to see the slate sights. So we quickly picked our date and was joined by John Climber. The 3 of us set off on a very humid Sunday afternoon which had plenty of […]
With restrictions being lifted here its great to be able to get out and do what I’ve missed doing for the past few months. So I’ve got some catching up to do! For this bikepacking overnighter I went to a local area that rich in slate history, the Cwmorthin & Rhosydd slate mines. The mines […]

Due to the current health situation, I’m stuck inside thinking all things fat-bike. I’m planning future rides, reminiscing rides gone by and thinking about what some people think about fat-bikes. So Why Fat-bike? This is a question that’s come up many times over the years by some who may have never ridden a fat-bike. With this […]
Over the last few years, there’s been a really interesting Mississippi flyway trail building renaissance that has made Northwest Arkansas the latest mountain bike travel destination.

Having embarked upon a journey to reduce the width of my Krampus wheels from 45mm to 32mm, this video rung some bells for a small portion of my brain cells. Calvin and Ben from Park Tool take a Surly Ice Cream Truck and build a set of sew-up road wheels for it. We’re always happy […]
A fun cruise around the Campbell Tract in Anchorage last Saturday with our Fatbassador to Alaska, Travis. Travis and I were joined by Ken Best and videographer, Al Heckart along with Ken’s pooch, Violet. It turned out to be a perfect bluebird day with low winds and temps in the twenties. Alaska in March can […]

Dr. John – Iko Iko – spurred a thought in my imagination that could possibly address the rumblings that folks from around the interwebs share with us about the timing of Global Fat Bike Day and the dicey conditions that early December can sometimes present. Fat Tuesday is the perfect new International Fat-Bike Holiday! Two […]
Some years back, Dave Ochs, John Norton, and Steve Kaczmarek helped start the Borealis Fatbike World Championships.

Winter fat-biking in Ruka Finland by Pekka Lintusaari. Vuoden ensimmäiset tunnit kuluivat sähkö-fatbiken selässä Rukatunturin kupeessa! Merkattu reitti kulkee nimellä Pyhän Jyssäys Pikku Pyhävaaralle josta kiertää takaisin kohti Rukan hiihtokeskusta reitin lähtöpaikalle. Tämä on mun ehdottomia suosikkireittejäni.

Inevitably, some of our readers contact us about Global Fat Bike Day and aren’t shy about telling us how the date (the first Saturday in December) doesn’t make sense because of the weather and soft trail conditions. I experienced some of those hurdles at my own GFBD ride. We had to meet at sunrise (7 […]
This is just Pat Smage (10-time US MotoTrials National Champion) being his usual champagne supernova. Riding his Fatback Skookum so freak’n smoove! I’m starting a campaign to change the word smooth to ‘smoove’ or maybe create a slang term for the fat-bikers dictionary and right there beside the definition, would be this video. PNW Components: […]
Last month I was fortunate enough to get an invitation to come out and ride fat-bikes on the beach with some old friends in Ocean Shores, Washington.

Bikepacking like other similar pursuits is I think you would agree about the adventure and what you may hope to find. Like with most bikepacking trips I have prepared for I scope out a plausible route while trying to second guess the terrain, the quality of the track (for excitement) along with the kind of […]
