Greetings Fat Bike Racers & Potential Fat Bike Racers,
The 5th Annual Togwotee Winter Classic is a little over a week away! Can you feel the excitement? Are you ready? We have about 30 racers who have already committed. If you haven’t done so, please email me to reserve your spot as I am limited to 50 racers. Please forward this email to anyone you feel might be interested.
I will offer two distances again this year. Racers can choose between the 25-mile loop or the 35-mile loop and you may declare your distance the morning of the race. Over the past four years, we have had a variety of conditions ranging from “firm & fast” to “snowy, soft, and slow”. Finish times have ranged from under three hours to epic slogs of over eight hours. Plan accordingly.
IMPORTANT: There will be a brief pre-race meeting at 8:15 AM inside Togwotee Mountain Lodge’s Fireside Room. This is the same room we gather in after the race.
Please spend a little time at the Togwotee Winter Classic Blog looking at previous race results as well as the map and route sheets. Don’t hesitate to email me with questions.
Local cycling adventure king ping, Jay Petervary, said to me one day this Fall, “Do you really understand?” To which I instinctively responded, “Of course I do. And how dare you ask that?” Sure, I had no idea what he was referring to, but I’m not about to answer no to a question like that from a guy like him. (more…)
There has been lots of talk about Fat Biking at Grand Targhee and this video shows you why. Thanks for pushing the envelope Andy and the whole crew at Grand Targhee!
