Winter '16-'17 MN Fatbike Events


With the explosion of  the popularity of fatbikes, Minnesota has become home to Winter fatbiking.  This year, no doubt is bound to see many new events and the return of some old favorites. 


This season's calendar will include all types of  Winter fatbike events from festivals and races to demos and group rides.  Below is a list in chronological order.  Race and event organizers, if you would like your event listed, please send me an e-mail (or visit my contact page).  I will continue to update and add events to this post as they become available.
