ENJOY A LUXURIOUS, FUN WINTER BIKE EXPERIENCE
Are you interested in a winter riding and camping experience, but don't want to race?
​
Join us for a fully supported glamping fat bike trip that combines education with an amazing riding experience in a snowy, wild environment few get to explore.
This camp is a fully supported immersive winter experience with expert winter fat bikers. Learn the gear, techniques, and safety of riding a fat bike and camping on snow trails, make friends, and spend time outside.
We will share our experience, gear knowledge and techniques of riding a fat bike and camping on snow trails. Along the way, we will also share with you how to manage and stay comfortable in a range of temperatures, including -40F. Having the right gear that works for you and knowing how to use it, is essential. All the little tricks which we have acquired by trial and error through thousands of miles of winter riding and camping will be of benefit to you. It may save your fingers, nose, toes or possibly your life one day.
​
This is not a physical training camp, although we will be riding and spending most of our time outside.
