Fat Tire Festival 08′
I just got back from Nelson’s own Fat Tire Festival, a 3 day event celebrating mountain bikes. Friday is registration day with a costume parade down Baker St, Saturday is the XC race and on Sunday is the 3x downhill on Morning Mountain. The course was dry and dusty and you couldn’t take a berm without sliding all the way through it. Every heat down had a crash with the final heat taking out the 2 top contenders in the last corner proving it’s not about how fast you can get down, its who you can take out to get the win.
Many thanks to the Nelson Cycling Club and all the volunteers who continue to put this great annual event together.
