The Evening Sun | A Fat Bike Experience: A New Way For Riders To Get Over The Winter Blues

PHARSALIA

–

Over

the

weekend,

19

Fats

Bikers

from

all

over

Central

New

York

pedaled

15.5

miles

in

a

experience

by

the

woods

and

over

the

hills

round

the

space.

A

journey

organized

by

Galena

Growlers

head

coach

Rob

Baker,

began

at

Camp

Pharsalia

–

a

former

correctional

facility

in

the

Chenango

County

space

–

by

the

Pharsalia

Statelands

and

ended

at

East

Park

in

downtown

Norwich.

Of

the

19

riders

that

began

the

experience,

ten

accomplished

the

full

route

whereas

9

rode

simply

over

half

approach

and

turned

again

to

head

to

the

camp.

Fats

Bikes

are

new

winter

sport

phenomenon

as

it

provides

these

who

love

to

experience

a

probability

to

take

their

bikes

out

on

the

off

months.

The

bikes

sport

tires

from

4

to

5

inches

in

width

and

most

have

studded

tires

to

counter

the

icy

situations

hidden

beneath

the

contemporary,

powdery

snowfall.

Regardless of

the

chilly

temperatures

Saturday,

riders

acknowledged

they

have been

ready

to

keep

heat

all through.

“As soon as

you

begin

pedaling,

the

human

physique

produces

a

nice

quantity

of

warmth,”

stated

Baker.

“Many

thought

we

would

freeze

however

it

was

the

full

reverse.”

Baker

acknowledged

that

one other

experience

is

already

deliberate

for

someday

in

February

and

all

are

welcomed

to

give

the

experience

a

attempt.

The

route

for

the

experience

subsequent

month

is

anticipated

to

be

close to

40

miles

and

is

set

to

embrace

Camp

Pharsalia

as

a

midway

level.

“I

have

to

give

a

large

thanks

to

the

native

Chenango

Sno-Riders

snowmobile

membership

that

went

out

and

groomed

the

nine-mile

path

after

Saturday’s

snowstorm,

making

the

journey

attainable,”

stated

Baker.

“With out

the

work

put

in

by

them,

the

occasion

wouldn’t

have

been

attainable

to

do

with

the

depth

of

the

snow.

“All

in

all,

it

was

a

nice

experience

with

some

nice

individuals.

Many

are

already

trying

ahead

to

the

subsequent

one.”
