    … would you?

    I ask because a company I have had dealings with recently may be offering this in 2015! They are mainly aiming the event at roadies, but after a chat, the bloke behind it likes the spectacle that could be dozens of fatbikes doing a chilled lap, and finding all the gravel traps 😉

    If it comes off, it looks like a weekends camping with a load of entertainment etc will be on offer for around £30 including the first ever fat bike mass lap!

    I would sign up just for the laugh and party! Would you?

    PS. I have nothing to do with this other than knowing about it! Just think it would be ace, being a F1 fan Grin

    Edit: on your fatbike!

    Could be fun, especially if we could do it with the roadies…….

    Riding a balloon tyred bike on hot tarmac for several miles you ask? Sounds great.

    Depends when it is and if we can bring the dog to watch as well (no dog sitter)

    They do need to stipulate a fat bike is any bike with a tyre as big or larger than a Surly Endomoph the original fat tyre (29er+’s are only semi fat)

    So it’s a definatly maybe from me?

    I can imagine that in a race where every bike has the wrong tyres on will lead to alot of debate about slicks and that tyre isn’t fat enough

    any way have fun

    Yes, would definitely be up for that.

    @JohnClimber sadly not, Silverstone along with most racing circuits forbids dogs anywhere near the premises (for very good reasons)… as i found out when I tried to get on site once with my last dog strapped into his seat..

    Oh hell yeah.

    If we’re doing it with roadies, it gives me an excuse to put TT bars on my beargrease too

    The fat bike element of that seems entirely at odds… F1 driver, F1 circuit, fat bike. Spot the odd one out. 😕

    Nope!

    Quite the point! Makes for an interesting talking point 😆
