FAT 55 is a lot more than a bike race!

FAT 55 was founded upon the belief that by doing something positive in Oakridge, we are doing something positive for the world. This year we are partnering with Oakridge’s IMBA chapter the GOATS (Greater Oakridge Area Trail Stewards) to promote Kids Mountain Bike Day in Oakridge the day after the FAT 55 race.

This years  race is Saturday September 22nd, 2012.  The course features about 10,000 feet of elevation gain/loss, and lots of challenging and technical singletrack.

Highlights include: great trails, tasty food, live music, and cash prizes.

FAT 55 supports local business’ and artisans, trail building and maintenance, volunteerism, live music, kids riding bikes, organic agriculture, independent media, anti-war movements, open space initiatives, equal rights for all people, commuting by bike, American made products, and all aspects of bike culture.

We are always looking for opportunities to partner with individuals, businesses, musicians and events that share in a vision of a peaceful, healthy world.

Our affiliates and sponsors are all in one way or another aligned with this initiative.  We invite you to check them out, support them, and consider how you may be able to join in.
