With the recent explosion of fatbiking, I'm imagining that this thing is going to be much bigger next year. It was a good deal of fun to be a photographer for the day, but it sure would have been nice to ride.
C.J. getting some air. He also went to do an addition lap for a total of 50 miles and was able to collect a little swag.
The highlight of the event for me was meeting and chatting with this man. Mr. Erwin Berglund, 69 years young!! The oldest finisher ever of the Arrowhead 135 and a past participant in the Sustina 100 in Alaska.
Erwin loved the course and was all smiles during the race. He did comment afterward about how the trees just seemed to move right in front of you.

The Black Sheep Stellar was one of my favorite bikes of the day. It was a work of art and a mix of classis style and new innovations. Hey...It even came with a twelve pack!
Twenty2 Cycles was one of the major sponsors and they had several demo bikes on hand for people to check out. I actually love the hot pink:)

45NRTH had a strong presence at the event. Many of the participants had their new Hüsker Dü tyres mounted on their steeds.
There was a good deal of conversation going on and you can pretty much guess what it was all about. This was most definitely a fatbike gathering.
I'm guessing that many are already anticipating next year's event and what it will bring. I know I'm looking forward to it. Right now though, I'm hoping for more snow and looking forward to tomorrow morning's ride.
