FAT PURSUIT WORKSHOP
IS A 3 DAY CAMP
Fat Pursuit Workshop is meant to give participants taking part in the Fat Pursuit (but not limited to those participants) an opportunity to test gear, acclimate to the environment and elevation and learn additional winter travel cycling tips and tricks. We will also give you a little more insight into the Fat Pursuit itself and ride some of the course!
Considering this is a 3-day camp and prior to the Fat Pursuit, we will be concentrating on “setting yourself up for success” when it comes to an event. We will touch base on many winter expedition traveling aspects but spend most of our time discussing, practicing and learning things we feel are most important to get to the finish line of an event where efficient travel and taking care of yourself becomes most important for one’s success.
This is an incredible way to boost your confidence and give yourself a "shake down" before the Fat Pursuit if you are participating in it!
