About

These fat biking events are new to Calgary and as direct a result of SNO’s efforts with the City of Calgary to expand access to the golf course from cross-country skiing and snowshoeing to fat bikes. This winter, SNO is maintaining a new network of approximately 8 kilometres of fat bike-specific trails enabling more people to enjoy winter activities, without conflict with existing users.

Our objective is to curate a unique experience for those who are new to the sport of fat biking, while also helping people access the activity in a safe and fun manner.

We are hosting three (3) single-day events, where we can reach new participants and also encourage returning riders to work on their skills through a series of station-based lessons and skills sessions and then guided trail rides. During these events, the trails will also be open to the public for use.

These are free events but a voluntary donation, to support SNO and the trails they’re maintaining, would be appreciated. Additionally, Bow Cycle has agreed to provide Norco fat bikes for demo use.

All people will need to participate are:

  • A bike helmet;
  • Warm clothing;
  • A signed waiver; and
  • The curiosity and interest to be outdoors

The format of this event will include:

  • Skills sessions:
    • Braking and body position;
    •  Cornering; and
    • Low-speed maneuvers and balancing.
  • Trail riding is guided and open.
  • Scheduled dates: Saturday January 28th, February 4th, and February 11th from 11am-3pm
  • Additional amenities:
    • skill session Q&As;
    • Norco demo bikes from Bow Cycle and equipment Q&As;
    • Warming stations; and
    • socializing at trail heads;
  • Confirmed partners:
    • The Cycling Co.
    • Shaganappi Nordic Operations Club;
    • Bow Cycle;
    • Norco Bicycles;
    • Eighty-Eight Brewing
