The Chequamegon Fat Tire Festival
is the biggest Mt Bike Race in the country.
There are about 1700 racers in the 40 miler

Topping out on the very difficult Firetower climb

It dosen't get much better than a day riding in northern Wisconsin.Karmen at the end of 40 miles of
suffering
and
FUN

PANTHERS
After watching some of the festivities on Sunday
We went out to explore some of the new single track around the Telemark Resort
Yeah, we are lost.
Miles and miles of great new trail.
Riding around on Sunday we got a new perspective of the
Fat Tire Festival
from on top of one of the Ski Hills
Where are the clowns
That's one huge tent
Rather chilly in the Big Tent for the awards ceremony Saturday night.
We had some really good results.
We'll all be back in 2011
!!!! Give it some thought !!!!

  2. Kathleen - you are too modest - so let me tell ...
    There were 217 women in her race and she got 12th overall and 4th in her very difficult age group category.
    Pretty good, huh?
