Marty's Fat 50 January 14th 2017

Where is this race? I'm so tempted to pick up a Fat Bike from Walmart for the occasional snowy ride since I've never tried one but always make fun of them.

This race might just be the final push to buy a $250 fatbike and race it for shits 'n giggles! :)

It starts at martys cycles in succasunna and heads west to high bridge and back. 90% is columbia trail/patriots path which is all gravel trail. The other 10% is road and singletrack. This was my first endurance race and I did it in 3:45 or so....top guys were 3:00-3:15

Oh that's not bad, Sucasunna is only an hour south of me. Definitely tempted to do this if I end up buying the Walmart FatBike.
 
Pictures from last year made me sad I didn't participate..... And "ample bathrooms" at the start seals the deal... guess I'll register!

Eat some food on this journey and don't underestimate the single track...that small section is tough.

It's a lot harder in the return direction, so save some for that effort. But I've only ridden it in the fall on a 29er, not in the winter on a fat bike.
