!Fat Wednesdays! - !Group Fat Bike Rides Every Wednesday at 6 From Woolly Trailhead!

Join the "night shift" on your fat bike at the Woolly Trails!
Mother Nature recently gave us a gift - she blanketed the St. Croix Valley in 6+ inches of snow, and Winter has finally set in.  The Woolly Bike Club was ready for the snow, and Woolly's Fat Bike Grooming Machine (known as "Bjorn 2.0") has been hard at work.  The result is some of the best Groomed Singletrack you'll find anywhere!  Don't take my word for it, check out what 45NRTH has to say about their riding on the Woolly trails - or as seen by CBS news / WCCO TV not too long ago.

Do I have your attention now?  Great!  While any time is a great time to ride Woolly, there will be frequent group rides on the Woolly Fat Bike trails all Winter.  Members of the Woolly Bike Club, Cyclova XC staff, and other community members will be out Fat Biking the Woolly trails every Wednesday night at 6PM.  We frequently get dinner and enjoy a beverage afterward as well.  Fat bikers of all levels are welcome at this no-drop group ride - we usually do either 1 or 2 laps of our 12 mile network of Groomed Singletrack trails. 

Summary:
What:  Group Night Time Fat Bike Rides on the Woolly Bike Club groomed singletrack
When:  Every Wednesday night, rolling at 6PM sharp
Where:  Meet at the Woolly Trail Head, at the bottom of Big Oak.  HERE is a link to the location.

Note that World Class mountain bike trails & groomed Fat Bike Trails don't happen on their own.  The Woolly Bike Club's volunteers have been hard at work for 8 years building the trails, partnering with the local municipalities & land owners, and making things happen.  Doing all of this costs money.  Support Woolly by joining IMBA and choose the Woolly Bike Club (WBC) as your chapter of choice - or by making a donation to Woolly.

Questions on the rides or the gear?  Stop on by or reach out to the Fat Bike experts at Cyclova XC right here in St. Croix Falls.  We have more fat biking expertise, passion, and equipment in stock than almost anyone!
