Fatbike Fest (Pugfest) the real championship.

I call Fatbike Fest/ Pugfest as the REAL WINTER MTB CHAMPIONSHIP.

Anything to do with groomed ski trails don't count.

The real champion will know how to ride the rutt.

And if your in town for that insider only bike deal and you proclaim your a fatbiker, shame on your hanging out inside when you can ride the real deal of winter MTB.

8 for life.

It's still Pugfest.

On 2-22-15, the originator of legit MTB winter racing is back...

Get this guy an LCR jersey...

It started as 'Pugfest" then got blindsided into this term they call 'fatbikes'. Who'd have thunk it, fatbikes? Back in the day (really not that long ago), they were all called Pugsley's. Even the stuff from AK.

We'll if any Riddler from Surly happens across this blag, we want our name back. Pugfest.

And to top that off. Many of us ain't bought into this fatbike hype completely, we still running our pugsley's, just like this guy...

Favorite all time purple-Pugsley action shot- Sumo Lance

NOTE- I am working on something to give my Pug company... My wife tells me I have to do this one race up North next year... I'm not a fan of riding in a straight line for very long. I'd be looking for logs to ride in the sticks and that probably wont place me well in the end. May need Finch to save me like he did for Coldbert.

New Mantra/ LML Latest

'I got into snowbiking to get away from people...'

Fatbike races have a whole new crowd. Feels like either a series race or willie wanka's chocolate factory meets all the giddy elves at the north pole.

That will change on 2-22-15 when the originator (Hillside) shows you how it's done. Stand back from the fire when Dirtworks gets ahold of a leaf blower.

LML- Over half full. Reminder, I need your email and commitment to get you in the game. Also, take note of the ethos on the blog site/ 'you are responsible for you'. I will not be calling your spouse if you get lost or crash.

It is official this years fundraiser is to raise cancer awareness and funds for a young lady that has a few things going against her right now. More details later.
