The Big Fat Ride is back!

We want you to join us during Fur Rondy as fat bikers for a fun, all-ability friendly ride across Anchorage. We can't wait to ride with you! Together we will tour our beautiful and snowy city.

This is a great and exciting ride for families, people that are new to Fat biking, people that are still working on enduring longer rides in the snow, and for all of those experienced riders that want to have a fun time with others. This is definitely a ride that welcomes and encourages all ability riders.

Join us and hundreds of other fat bikers on a fun, beginner-friendly ride across Anchorage. Tour our beautiful, snow city and celebrate the birthplace of the Fat Bike. Start your chill, 5-mile loop on 4th Avenue Downtown. Then, make your way to Westchester Lagoon for a party with all of your fat bike friends. After warming up with some refreshments, finish the loop via the spectacular coastal trail.

But wait, the party's not over yet! Head on over to 49th State Brewing Co. after the ride for the after party. Enjoy free pizza, mingle with your friends, and stick around for the Winter Bike Fest raffle prize drawing - you could win a new fat bike, bikepacking gear, two round-trip Alaska Airlines tickets, and more!

By joining us for this ride, you're supporting Bike Anchorage and a more bikeable, walkable city. The Big Fat Ride caps off Winter Bike Fest, our month long celebration of biking in our winter city. We hope to see you at this and all Winter Bike Fest events!
