Fat Bike Worlds Returns to Colorado in 2024



Leadville, CO – December 6, 2023 – The highly anticipated 2024 Fat Bike Worlds is set to make a triumphant return to Colorado in January for its 9th annual celebration of fat biking excellence. After a brief hiatus from the state, the event is gearing up to take place in the picturesque town of Leadville, promising participants an elevated fat biking experience against the stunning backdrop of the state’s highest peaks.



Leadville, with its rich history, charming downtown, and breathtaking natural beauty, is the perfect setting for the Fat Bike Worlds. The event is renowned for fostering a spirit of fun and camaraderie, and this year’s host, The Cloud City Wheelers, is committed to ensuring an unforgettable experience for all participants.



As Leadville/Lake County’s trail advocacy group, Cloud City Wheelers dedicate themselves to building and maintaining trails year-round throughout the area. They are the driving force behind Colorado’s longest-running winter mountain bike races, the Leadville Winter Mountain Bike Series. With over 60 miles of groomed trails in the vicinity, riders can expect a diverse range of options, from windy narrow groomed singletrack to above-treeline trails offering awe-inspiring views.



The main event of the Fat Bike Worlds will unfold at Colorado Mountain College, utilizing the college’s unique rolling terrain to create a course that challenges riders of all skill levels. Whether you’re a seasoned racer or a novice rider, the event promises excitement and adventure. Additionally, a new and thrilling addition to this year’s lineup is a multi-stage downhill race through Leadville’s historic East Side Mining District, blending the spirit of enduro racing with the exhilaration of fat biking.



To cap off the festivities, Leadville will host a kids’ race and an on-trail snow grooming workshop, providing a perfect conclusion to this action-packed weekend.

The Crash Course Coaches at Broken Spoke Bike StudioKelly, Chris, George, David, and Robb.


For this episode of the Danger Gnome Podcast Tio Gomez hit the road up to the Green Bay Area to meet up with our old friend George Kapitz and his Broken Spoke Bike Studio crew for a fat bike skills workshop that they’ve given an apt name. They call it their Crash Course and they cover fat biking 101 for folks that want to dip their toe into the Snow Crown Race Series. A good portion of the evening was spent out on the trails learning bike handling skills and after a classroom session about bike maintenance, we got to sit down and reminisce a little bit with George about the old days and also talk about the upcoming Race Season.
