Awesome. I think I'm in now.
Sucks about the snow. Would have been great if it came a day earlier.

Isn't this like cancelling a kite flying event due to high winds?

Sorry. Can't help it.

This was never a snowride event. We actually downplayed the ride aspect and tried to plan a social event in the winter. Dickweed. 😉

And re-schedule isn't cancel.

*We will hold Winter Jam directly following the Mayhem Fat Four Endurance Challenge on Sunday, February 28th. The race starts at 9 a.m., the Jam will begin at 12:30. Bikes, BBQ, Beer and Bonfire will all be on the agenda, and those who were asking for a daylight ride will much easier find it on the 28th.

What's the dealio with this race? Is this fat bike only? Would this be a venue for some old chump to try his first race ever?

It is part of the NJ Fat Bike Race series. Yes fat only, and the would be a perfect first race. The March Mayhem race last year at the same venue had a huge beginner class.

 

[KenS]

And I bet if you ask nice a shop would let you demo a fatty for the race

Bummer you have to reschedule,
but the new date looks like it's going to work for my schedule-
pending final approval.

And more importantly, it will give my DIPA an extra 5 weeks to bottle condition,
it might just be ready for prime time by then!

Don't need to tippy toe around the real reason for the postponement. .. @michael.su 's toddler-like bed time. Just Soooo happens that now it starts at 12:30 eh? Pretty convenient 😉

Updated calendar, I'm still in. Considering doing the race as well..... should be a fun day!

Awesome, and yes @michael.su was so against staying up past 8 that he called in a storm.

The old chump I was talking about was @michael.su - he already has a fat bike. Just kidding Mike, I know you're not a chump old man! 😀

By any chance would a 27.5+ 3" tire bike be considered "fat"? I might have mine by then.

 

[KenS]

I think the series requires 3.8.

 

[michael.su]

What's going on in here?!?! Lol
Yeah, you're not FAT enough Rick!!! 😀
(You can borrow my ride for the race if you want though)

For you, definitely. I ran in the beginner class here last year.

 

[KenS]

The permit changes are approved, and bikereg date change is forthcoming. We will update bikereg tomorrow and tidy everything up.

 

[KenS]

Updated some stuff. Still waiting for bottom line price for both events before the combo is added on bikereg.
