Estimated tour time: About 2-3 hours.
Tour Description: An 9- to 10-mile loop in Goldstream Valley. There will be some hills, though nothing drastic. Trails are in good shape. A little snow is forecast between now and Sunday but not much, and the temps are looking like they will be nice. There might be some short stretches of slippery overflow. Might be a little tricky without studs, but people can ride/walk the sides of the trail and should be fine.
The ride is free, but you'll need to be a member of the Fairbanks Cycle Club. Temporary memberships are available.
Minimum skill level: Advanced beginner
Temperature cut-off: The ride will be canceled if it's 20F below or colder at 9 a.m. according this Goldstream Creek weather station.
Dogs: No dogs please

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.)
