Riders will test their skills through thick lowland forests and river shorelines on this three-hour endurance ride. Riders can participate as a three-person relay team or solo. The race takes place on mountain bikes called fat bikes, which have 3.5" wide tires or greater, which allow for riding in conditions like snow and sand.
