Fat Bike Worlds Returns to Colorado in 2024 by leadvegas

Press Release: Fat Bike Worlds

The highly anticipated 2024 Fat Bike Worlds is set to make a triumphant return to Colorado in January for its 9th annual celebration of fat biking excellence. After a brief hiatus from the state, the event is gearing up to take place in the picturesque town of Leadville, promising participants an elevated fat biking experience against the stunning backdrop of the state's highest peaks.

Leadville, with its rich history, charming downtown, and breathtaking natural beauty, is the perfect setting for the Fat Bike Worlds. The event is renowned for fostering a spirit of fun and camaraderie, and this year's host, The Cloud City Wheelers, is committed to ensuring an unforgettable experience for all participants.

As Leadville/Lake County's trail advocacy group, Cloud City Wheelers dedicate themselves to building and maintaining trails year-round throughout the area. They are the driving force behind Colorado's longest-running winter mountain bike races, the Leadville Winter Mountain Bike Series. With over 60 miles of groomed trails in the vicinity, riders can expect a diverse range of options, from windy narrow groomed singletrack to above-treeline trails offering awe-inspiring views.

The main event of the Fat Bike Worlds will unfold at Colorado Mountain College, utilizing the college's unique rolling terrain to create a course that challenges riders of all skill levels. Whether you're a seasoned racer or a novice rider, the event promises excitement and adventure. Additionally, a new and thrilling addition to this year's lineup is a multi-stage downhill race through Leadville's historic East Side Mining District, blending the spirit of enduro racing with the exhilaration of fat biking.

To cap off the festivities, Leadville will host a kids' race and an on-trail snow grooming workshop, providing a perfect conclusion to this action-packed weekend.

Thanks to fat biking and the winter races that have been held in Leadville since the mid 90's the Cloud City Wheelers have built 24 miles of trail and are able to maintain them for year round riding. We also built a $300,000 bike park and are continuing to advocate for mountain biking not only in Lake County but across the state. Like it or not fat biking makes you a better rider when the dirt shows again. Fat biking provides necessary funding for small groups like the Wheelers. Fat Bike Worlds started in Crested Butte and will return to Crested Butte, and there it will continue to help fund riding opportunities to all, on dirt and snow. I'd rather be riding a fat bike than making comments on pinkbike

'Colorado Fat Bike Worlds' perhaps? Out of 149 registered participants, only 10 are from outside Colorado.

Nothing will beat the 1st one. Someone has a brand on their arse to prove it.

Got to be there for the 1st 2 years in CB. Yes! Year 1 was perfect. It's strange but I wish I could be branded.
