FAT FREDDIE'S FATBIKE RACE/RAMBLE

The GPS track of Fat Freddie's Fatbike Race/Ramble.  We started and finished at Freddie's Roadhouse and rode clockwise around the 12.8 mile 'loop.'  The trail was well groomed and the intersections were clearly marked.  About 30 riders participated.  It was a splendid day in the Caribou Hills near Ninilchik, Alaska.

Riders pushed their bikes up the first big hill.  It was steep!  Look closely and you will see a dog in the lower left corner of the photo.  It was missing a rear leg and it ran the entire distance of the ride.
The Caribou Hills Phone Company maintains a phone booth along one of the trails.  Jim Bennett tried to make a call but it was out of service.

At the first checkpoint there was a nice family on snow machines handing the fatback riders water bottles.
