What a great community of Fat Bikers we have here in Maine! We were forced to cancel our race last Sunday thanks to an uncooperative Mother Nature. But due to the generosity of our entrants we were still able to make a sizable donation to the Western Foot Hills Land Trust. THANKS to all that donated their entries!

Just returned from the final recon of the course, the news is bad. The course is not safe to ride on and will not be any better on Sunday given the weather forecast. We are forced to cancel the event for this Sunday. If your are registered watch your email for a message from us today. Thanks for all the support and watch our page https://www.facebook.com/back40events/ for upcoming Mt Bike and Fat Bike Events this summer and fall.

I know everyone is anxious to know so here goes. We're going to wait until Friday after the rain to make the final decision. We really want to make this happen. I will evaluate the trail Friday morning and let everyone know then.

Just got back from a recon of the course for Fat Bottom Whirl. Quite frankly, it's not good news. I'm trying to get in touch with the regular groomer to get his opinion of how this up coming rain is going to effect the trail. As of now the only way I would allow racers on the course would be with studded tires. It's simply not safe without them. Stand by for a final decision ASAP. Today or tomorrow.
Sorry to keep putting this off but I'm really trying to make this race happen.
