Fat Bike World Championship – Crested Butte

I ran the course but did not really race. The entry fee gave you access to photo opportunities not normally available. They are well organized and the bike manufacturer Borealis was a big sponsor and a large team participated. One fellow was from Alaska and some traveled across several states to get here.

Crisp morning air. A trace of snow overnight.
Some were ready to compete and serious about it.
Some were here for fun only.
The starting gate. I kept to the rear.
Competitors took 5 laps each lap was about 2 miles.
Scooby Doo grabbing some air.
The no team jersey racers in the Fun division.
Serious racers were three laps complete to my one. I stopped for pictures though.
And the race cameras grabbed me after one slow lap. Next time I’ll try to finish.
