Fat Tire 2008 Festival

Blue Mountain Park - Peekskill, NY

- Fat Tire Festival Parking Lot -
We arrived at 10 AM and stayed til 4 PM.

Tents on second level in distance are located in the main event field.
The main trails and mountain are directly behind me (opposite the directon the camera is pointing).

Although we took the intermediate group ride, due to the brutal hot and humid weather (it was a weather advisory day), we bailed on the first run up into the mountain bike trails after only 10 minutes or so. The rest of the day was spent in the main event area...


- Fat Tire Festival Main Event Field -
Registration tent, vendors


 ...and crappy rock bands 
(terrible out-of-tune ear shattering vocals by 16-year olds 
pretending to be 25-year old rock stars -- oh the horrors)

The "skinnies" - a wide assortment of fun rides to attempt

- Greg on Skinnies -



Greg "Doin' The Limbo"


- Riding the Skinny Contest -

All the skinnies were placed together into one long challenging run for the Skinny Contest.
