    You're unchecking the wrong thing. Gotta register bro. Uncheck the 'optional' line.

    Using this celebrity entrant as example.

    KEEP THIS REGISTRATION LINE CHECKED:
    FORC Frozen Fat Fondo Fest Registration for Barack Obama (460431)
    02/07/2015 Solo Women $20.00 remove

    UNCHECK THIS ONE DAY LICENSE LINE (unless you choose to buy it)
    (Optional) Mtn One-day License on 02/07/2015 for Barack Obama (460431)
    Optional for riders without an active annual license for Gran Fondo Events. $15.00 remove

    Early bird discount is over; now $25 to Register Online HERE. Online registration expires Thur Feb 5 at midnight CST.
    Remember to read the fine print here.
    Purchase of the USAC one-day license is NOT required for the FFFFest.
    Secret Service said the registration website is confusing. Maybe this helps:


    Register in-person the morning of the FFFFest until 1030AM, on paper, in the slow line.

    Things are shaping up perfectly -- the course, registration tent, food, raffle, beer potluck. Life is Good; Better on a Fat Bike.
    Fondo racers -- be sure to bring warm clothes & snow boots for time when not doing laps, and a change clothes in your car afterward.
    Everyone -- dress warm for post-fondo events!

    Save hassle and Register Online before midnight Thurs 5th.

    You can register in person Saturday morning at 9AM - 1030AM; race at 11AM.

    Change into warm clothes after the Fondo main event & bring a chair 'cause you don't want to miss the Festivities.

    Enjoy the firepits, enter the Shenanigans, eat some hot chow, partake in THE pot luck, stomp faces off!

    Shenanigan Prizes, near $800 worth, are WHERE ITS AT! Can't win if you don't play!

    Fondo entrants get in all three for free; $5 per event otherwise. Sign up at registration tent for details; 3.5" wide tires or greater reqd.

    Our friends at Great River Brewery in Davenport have graciously donated this jersey for the race raffle. In collaboration with Healthy Habits in Bettendorf, they have brewed a Tripel beer that is on tap at the tasting room. They are also donating a couple cases of beer including the Tripel Crank beer in cans.

    Be sure to stop in and say thanks and support your local brewery!

    Another shout out to the volunteers who made this happen and Guldy for keeping us all on track!

    A few highlights of the event:

    • Impressive winterizing of the shelter and well coordinated inner shelter activities
    • Awesome trophies
    • Boat loads of swag
    • A great course layout
    • Snowball fight (another shenanigans event next year?)
    • Even got to work on my tan


    Can't wait for Fx4 2016. Hopefully the lodge will be finished by then...

    Huge thanks to FORC and the individuals who put this together. Whenever I come back to the QC I'm reminded how welcoming and sincere everybody is. My buddy from Cleveland was blown away by the hospitality and the fatbike scene you've all forged. Made me proud.

    Can't wait for next year.
