    Default QC Enchanted Fat Bike STOMP! 2/15/14

    It’s baaaack!

    As if fat bike wasn’t stoked enough for the amazing Winter we are having, this is sure to get it’s tires enlarged.

    Saturday, February 15th, 2014, 9:30am

    Freight House parking lot- 421 W River Dr. Davenport, IA

    Stompin’ and ‘schwacking our way to Dee’s Catfish Cove for the 2nd annual

    Quad Cities Enchanted Fat Bike STOMP!

    The no frills, no whining, raddest fat bike ride of the year! For those that made it last year can attest, this one of the premier fat bike events in the Midwest! What makes it so much fun besides the bridge trolls, stompin’ grounds, flasks, the Mississippi views, bonfire, PBR and greezy Dee’s cheeseburgers? Well….that’s about it. If that doesn’t sound like a good time, you are best staying home on the cizzouch!

    Bring your fat bike and a smile and partake in the fun again this year!

    Cheers!

    Doubtful.

    I don't think the 41 degrees will happen. Besides, Fester doesn't wear clothes.

    Ha! That said 31 degrees this morning. I doubt 41 will happen and hope it doesn't, that would make it pretty sloppy. 25 sunny with little wind would be awesome.

    Maybe they did and since the news paper is family friendly they just left it out.

    I had to double check the start time. I remember this staring much later last year and going till the wee hours of the morning. I'm guessing we're gonna be out till 0:dark30, Yes? Lights are on the charger.
    I may have to grow old, but I'll never have to grow up.
