It's still below freezing at night and the Ester Dome Singletrack trails got groomed recently, so let's head there. Trails should be solid for an earlier ride.

Estimated tour time: About 2-3 hours
Description: We'll ride the Outer Loop of the ED Singletrack. The Inner Loop is apparently very bumpy due to people walking on it when it was soft, so we'll avoid that loop.
Minimum skill level: Intermediate: Short and long climbs, nothing too technical
Temperature cut-off: Ride will be canceled if it is 20F below or colder at 9am on the morning of the ride according to this weather station.
Dogs: No dogs please
Leader: Eric Troyer: fbx.cycle.club (at) gmail.com
Donation opportunities: Goldstream Sports grooms these trails in winter. You can donate to the effort at the store.
The ride is free, but you’ll need to be a member of the Fairbanks Cycle Club. Temporary memberships are available.
FATBIKE RENTALS
If you don’t own your own fatbike, but want to try it out, there are a few places around town that rent fatbikes that we know about. (Not all are open on Sundays, so plan ahead.)
