Hosted by The Bike Shop, the event has categories for experienced racers, for people new to winter riding, and for kids (1.5km). Racers will also enjoy the chance to ride a section of the event across a stretch of Peninsula Lake.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe idea behind this event is to celebrate winter riding and to introduce as many people to it as<br \/>\npossible,&#8221; says Kristi MacDonald, co-owner of The Bike Shop in Huntsville and Gravenhurst. \u201cIt\u2019s a<br \/>\nchance to experience winter in Muskoka in a whole new way as well.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Registrants for the riding event will also enjoy fat bike product demos by The Bike Shop and Algonquin Outfitters, live music, a bonfire, a chili feast, and beer sampling by Muskoka Brewery. Non-racing spectators can purchase a wristband for $10, which gives them access to post-race festivities. The biking during the day is also the prelude to Muskoka Brewery\u2019s Untapped with Muskoka Blues Connection food and music event at Deerhurst Resort later in the evening. For discounted room rates or ticket information on the Untapped with Muskoka Blues Connection event visit www.deerhurstresort.com.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDeerhurst Resort is excited to partner with The Bike Shop on this new winter event,&#8221; says Luke Nixon-Janssen, Director of Sales at Deerhurst Resort. \u201cWith the growth of winter biking and fat biking in particular, it\u2019s nice to see local businesses come together to build on an emerging sport in our community.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>MacDonald emphasizes that the event is not only for hardcore fat bike riders. \u201cAlthough fat bikes are the best for riding in winter, with the cold weather conditions we\u2019ve been having, the trail should be great for mountain bike riders who have thick tires.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>For more information or to register for the Muskoka Winter Bike Festival, visit <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.winterbikefest.com\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">winterbikefest.com<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fat Biking event a great way to experience Ontario\u2019s cottage country in the snowy season A new family-friendly bike race and festival is coming to Deerhurst Resort in Huntsville on [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":44181,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[26],"class_list":["post-44179","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sports","tag-breaking"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 -
