Count me out. Those that know me would agree that these types of things interest me very little. /sarcasm

SOUNDS LIKE A BOATLOAD OF FUN.

[jimithng23]

I'm out.

F'n Saturdays.

[sixers2009]

No fat bike here but would like to try it. Anyone driving from Davenport?

[Dirt]

I sure am happy that I got my Vas done last year before there was legitimate stuff to do on a bike in the winter.
Count me in!

Was that too much info?

[Rage]

[Augustice]

I'm going. Who in? Westy!?

[BD83]

Sounds too good to be true, but I'll bite.

[Guldy]

Dearest Rage,
Is an endurance race, with short-fat-guy-that-can't-pedal class? Or a tour (incognito 'bike pub ride')? Also, if it is a race, wife's curious if demo bikes are just for racers?
Most sincerely,
Guldy

[Rage]

It's as much of a race as you want to make it. Multi lap course, around 15-20min per lap so each person on a team will ride once per hour. Don't need to have a team in advance, we'll set that up for you. Or you can go solo and ride a dozen laps or two, whatever floats yer boat. Think of it as HFDB on a fatbike in the woods.

Demo bikes will available to anyone who wants to ride one.

Can't go wrong.

I'm trying to convince my boss and a friend to go. Sounds like a blast and Raul pretty much ensured that I'll be getting a fattie before next winter.

[Augustice]

So who is all going from the QC. I think 98 percent in. I do it have a Fatbike. Anybody wanna roll together?

I'm heading down to cr quick first picking up a buddy then heading down.

[jJohnson]

My buddy Joey and I are going for sure, Randy sounds like he's in, too. We'll all have to ride demos.

[sixers2009]

We will also have to demo them. Are you taking your skinny with? probably not?

Nope.

[Guldy]

hmmm host server didnt like my first try
Rage & all thanks for the info; good luck I've got to bow out for this weekend.

[sixers2009]

Is anyone going with their fat bike that doesn't have a team?

[badfish41]

I'm sure there will be others there that need teammates. And they will have a bunch of demos to race, so don't worry about not having a fatty. The fatbike community/ICORR/World of Bikes/Jeff's Bike and Ski are a good bunch, you won't have to pry to find a bike or have fun.

Going to be a blast- rain, wind, slush, mud be damned.

WAY better than NFL playoffs. ;-)

[Westy_3]

I think I'm going sixers, I've got to talk to Augie at some point and see what his plan is as well. I want to get back to the QCA pretty soon after the race, the Packers play that night at 7, so I should probably be home for that, if anyone wants to carpool let me know.

Oh, and badfish, I bet you wouldn't say that if the Bears were still playing........Go Pack Go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not a chance. An awesome time with buddies riding fat bikes and drinking PBR ranks way above watching pro sports.

And it ain't even close.

[sixers2009]

Westy I don't need to go to CR anymore those guys are just driving up themselves. I'll car pool it with ya. I'm sure your ride is much nicer than mine. I can throw you some gas money or something.

[jJohnson]

My friends and ride have probably bailed on me. Blah.

[BD83]

I've got a team of 3 ready but no bike. Sounds like we'll get split up if we don't have a bike, so if someone was willing to rent theirs out, send me a PM with your price.

Ben, can you fit on a L?
