As a kick-off to Fat Biking at Albion, this first annual festival will feature a variety of activities aimed at all levels of riders.

For the low price of $30 or $40, the event will include a chili lunch, and a REDLINE brewery beer to all participants. Outdoor bonfire, manufacturer demos and a DJ will complete the festival atmosphere. Because of the nature of Fat bikes, the weather can vary greatly without hugely affecting the event,

Albion is designating the entire park to fat biking for all of Saturday!
