2015 Milky Way Intergalactic Fatbike Race - March 8, 2015


Fatbiking is a big thing!  Everybody's talking about it, doing it, loving it....and I wasn't so sure.  It just looked kinda slow & weird....and so I kept not trying it.

Until this winter & I finally ended up going for my first fatbike ride at Hardwood with some neighbourhood friends & fatbike lovers...and I had a really fun time!  

But that was back in December & since then its been all about skiing - always DH for sure but the biggie this year has been XC at Hardwood & lots of it!  

Then with winter coming to the end....it was time for The Milky Way Intergalactic Fatbike Championships - very seriously fun deal - costumes encouraged, etc....and I just had to do it.  Borrowed a really nice Trek Farley from Hardwood & lined up for my first fatbike race!


Matchy matchy - Trek Farley blues!
Really fun ripping around the XC ski trails as fast as possible! (and next year...a costume & no snow pants!!) 
Woo hoo 1st place!
