Did you see that beach photo from 2012 as the featured image for this post? That was 2012. The heyday of fat-bike beach riding on Lake Michigan. Guess what? Things are looking up for beach rides this year! Not sure we will equal 2012 but the lake level is headed in the right direction! Down. Here it is if you missed it!
This column is all about fat-bike history! I don’t know about you but I like checking in on stuff that happened at the beginning of the fat-bike craze! Fat-bike.com was there! Reliving the “good ol’ days” while writing these columns sure brings back good memories and reminds me that there are many more to come!
This Week in Fatbike History
The following links and commentary are from the Weekly Dose of Fat published on 5-11-12! Yes, they all still work. 13 years ago and are still available on the web! Fat-biking history endures!
Let us begin…
With Spring here the beach has been calling. We did a “Super Full Moon” beach ride last weekend and had a great time. Get your fatbike out and ride the sand!
Gomez is out doing a few recon rides in Michigan scouting out potential locations for an upcoming event. Stay tuned!
