Stillwater Fat Tire Bike Rally
About
Fat Bike Rally is the perfect outdoor activity to look forward to! All participants will get a virtual swag bag to local shops & restaurants plus cash prizes for the winners.
As part of the Wintertime in Stillwater festivities, this event will be contactless, and will have a large window of time during its 2 days to self-space and complete the course (more than once if you choose). Participants can either ‘ride’ or ‘race’ the course; with the 3 designated timed racing segments along the course being the only portions that should be raced! Both fat-bikes and mountain bikes will be allowed, but should the course be soft, fat bikes may be your only rideable choice!
Location/Course: SEE MAP. Start (and finish) on the bike path at the north end of Stillwater’s riverfront Lowell Park (near Browns Creek Trail Parking Lot, 432 Mulberry St. E. Stillwater, MN 55082). Riders join the new St Croix Crossings Bike Loop Trail and head clockwise on the trail crossing the St Croix River on the old lift bridge, up the 0.5 mile 8% Houlton Hill and winding back into into Oak Park Heights via the new spectacular Hwy 36/64 bridge, https://events.discoverstillwater.com/event/wintertime-in-stillwater-2/onto (or bi-pass) the mountain bike trails at Valley View Park, and returning into Stillwater paralleling the St Croix River. Participants can choose to ‘ride’ the entire 10-mile course (including the Houlton Hill 0.5 mile) segment, or by-pass the 2 technical ‘racing’ segments in Valley View Park (1.2 miles & 1.5 miles) shortening their course to 7.3 miles. Parking: Available on streets and in many surrounding parking lots.
