Group Ride, Circuit Race & Omnium Finals  

Sleep in then stroll down to the Anderson’s Maple Syrup Community Pancake Breakfast.  After a good meal, round out the FBW Championships weekend and build your Omnium points total with a snappy circuit race on a 1-mile groomed course across from the 45th Parallel Distillery.  Or if you’d like a more leisurely start, join us for a fat bike group ride around town and the local trails. Either way, you’ll be able to take in the crisp and scenic views while pedaling some of the best local fat bike trails in the area.
