After an epic fat bike season this past winter, seeing nearly 100 riders competing in our KLM/Cold Stone Fat Bike Grand Tour, we’re back! This time with a fresh name and look, all coupled with the same (if not more) fun planned.
The goals for us and everyone are the same – have fun and get outside with a little incentive to ride your fat bike at our great local trails. As an added bonus, earn a Cold Stone ice cream cake in the process. All the details can be found on the site here and we’ll be posting updates on our Facebook page as well, but a few quick notes:
- There will be 8 segments starting on January 3rd. Same weekly structure as before. We’ve built a couple rest weeks into the schedule, so make sure and check out the schedule page for the specifics.
- There will be three categories: Men’s Open, Men’s Sport, and Women’s Open.
- Points will be awarded for each completed segment, with the top 6 counting towards your final standings. You will receive 5 bonus points by completing each added segment.
- KLM Bike and Fitness and Cold Stone Creamery (Rochester Hills) is back again supporting the series. We’re excited about it. We’ll have prizes to top finishers, but with a bigger focus on the entire group. We’re going to have the virtual raffle tickets again and random prizes throughout.
- Just to reiterate – this is for fat bikes only. No mountain or half-fat bikes. That means 3.7″ tires are required. If you don’t have a fat bike, find one. Beg, borrow .. don’t steal.
- That’s it for now. More details to come!
