Anyone from here doing any of the organised rides?

I’m hoping to get to the Forest of Dean one on Sunday on the Dune.

Facebook page for Gloucestershire one.

I’ll be out on mine.

At least the forecast looks better than last year! That was an ‘interesting’ ride!

I’ll be heading for Swanage on Friday for the Charlie the Bikemonkey ride, followed by a Mexican meal, followed by a “cool sounds and psychedelic visuals disco”… what could go wrong and wisely I’m not due in work until next Tuesday. Hopefully we won’t have last year’s comedy winds……..

I might cycle to work on Saturday, after swapping back over to fat wheels, maybe even my new PX rear wheel if it arrives on Friday! 😆

Frensham Fatbike foray 2 on saturday, sand and surrey hills

if you do FB most are on the UK fatbike club pages

Yeah, as Rocketdog says, most are on Facebook.
The global list is at the bottom of the page here… although the Forest of Dean one ain’t on there seemingly.

Thanks both – I didn’t scan the GFBD list closely enough!

I am booked on aswell, but seem to have injured my back, which is a real shame as it looked a LOT of fun.

Oh yes, if last year is anything to go by………….

MAKE IT A SUNDAY!

MAKE IT A SUNDAY!

iirc there’s a cannock one on sunday

Gloucestershire ride in the Forest of Dean is on a Sunday and I am planning on being there on my Henderson

If you’re in reach of North Wales or over in the North West of England?

Head over along the A55 to Anglesey for a 10am ride off on Saturday.

If you fancy a December beach side bivi, there is a nice weather forecast for Friday night then feel free to join us for the evening & night as well, meeting up at 6pm at a pub before driving to the rides car park.

So if you fancy the North Wales Fat Bike ride at Newborough Beach on Anglesey and are unsure as what to expect then take a gander at one of my rides there and hopefully we’ll see you there:

North of Scotland fatbike ride is at Strathpeffer and may well include a fantastic burger in Garve.

Does the Cannock one have a ‘page’?

I’ll post this thread on the UK fatbike FB & see if anyone can help

Copied & pasted from a quick FB search…

For those in the midlands that don’t wish to travel lots of miles for Global Fat Bike Day, I’m co-hosting a ride with Alan Seager around the wonderful area of Cannock Chase. It’ll not be the trail centre area, but the scarcer used areas known more to locals and the wanderers out there.

Place: Marquis Drive, Cannock, Staffordshire, WS12 4PW

Date: 4th December

Time: 9am til can’t ride no more or everyone wants to go.

Reason: Global Fat Bike Day Midlands based

Try the ” fat around the midlands” page

I’m co-hosting a ride with Alan Seager

Ah….a mate rides with him most Sundays at Cannock on a thinbike.
Hmmm… FOD or Cannock?

Hi,

Peak District Edition starts from Buxton Railway Station on Saturday morning. 10AM start.

Cheers!
I.

Bunch of us going to Damage* too. Although were starting tomorrow afternoon at the Square and Compass so you’ll see us at the back mostly on Saturday!

*Edit autocorrect predicts future?? Swanage!

Just about to find out if I can get my back wheel returned in time to join the Frensham ride.

Drum roll please…

No. Needs heat to get the knackered ratchet ring out. :-/

pfff. I’ll make a start on the woodstore instead.

I’m hoping to feel well enough by the weekend to join the FOD one….

The forecast looks good for the East Lothian ride. Looking forward to it more than is necessary 🙂

I’ll be soloing on the Ridgeway Sunday. Looking forward to it,

There is a South Lakes ride from Ghyllside Cycles heading over to Staveley for lunch then bothy time @ Mosedale Cottage. I am riding from Staveley but having a few beers in the Eagle and Child before heading up at around 8pm to Mosedale so hopefully it will be warm and cosy when I turn up 🙂

We had a cracking day in East Lothian

Pre ride faffage

Mini Submarine in Aberlady Bay at low tide

Cracking weather in North Wales!

Many thanks to Jeff for organising & herding us 🙂

Mint day today in the Forest of Dean.
Had to be 60-70 fatties riding. Split into two groups but still a lot of congestion in the techy bits.

Had a big burp on a trail on the Dowies side, realised I’d only got a 650b tube in my pack, but a nice chap from Slam69 gave me a tube. By the time I’d got it back up with my TINY pump, everyone had buggered off, all except for a chap (sorry dude, forget your name) who waited for me and rode back to the start with.

Good to meet Cheeseybeanz of this forum.

Gorgeous weather and great trails. 🙂

Saw a load of you all out in the FOD, everyone was having fun by the looks of it!

Very subdued at Swanage this year….so no point trying to find naked on a bike on YouTube……

North Wales GFBD

The perfect bivi spot, pre Global Fat Bike Day (Friday night)

This was my evening view from my sleeping bag

A warming camp fire was needed in December

In the morning

And so to Global Fat Bike Day on Saturday

Chilly up on Snowdon

Good to see you today Kayak23 , we must have tempted fate by talking about ghetto tubeless setups 😀

Yeah. Blummin baggy tyres!

South Lakes ride was awesome with a overnighter thrown in for good measure
