I motored my way down to New Belgium’s Tour de Fat on Saturday. Yes, I said motored. It was for the best really. 1) The only bike I own is my ten speed from Junior High (total 80’s … black, with pink and turquoise accents … and two flat tires); 2) The last time I rode a bike I ran over my own leg (yeah, I don’t know, but it’s true); and 3) If I rode a bike from home, with my current chubs, in the 90 degree temps, I would be dead (and hence, no pictures for you).
So while driving to a bike festival may seem like a major fail, it was really a win.
We went later in the afternoon so we would be sure to catch March Fourth Marching Band. It was hotter than blazes—the amount of sweat pouring forth from my body was most unfortunate. But oh the spectacle of it all!
By the time we left I was ready to go out and purchase a bike … and the perfect attire for next year’s shenanigans.
For those unable to experience the wondrous whimsy yourselves—never fear! I snapped a few shots, just for you.
So slap on your ID bracelet…
Grab yourself a Fat Tire, and prepare to be amazed …

That is just awesome! I'm so glad you guys went. Next year you will definitely have to participate. I have some awesome multi-colored argyle over the knee socks this year as my pièce de résistance! Should turn out to be quite fabulous. Thanks so much for sharing. Cheers! Mags
Those socks sound like the perfect accoutrement … and for the mothership, no less! I will expect pictures, naturally …
hahahaha. That dog picture is too funny! You just seem to snap those dogs in such a great way! looks like it was lots of fun!
I loved that pup! He was drenched by the time he was done attacking the mister hose … and had the biggest smile on his face. He thought it was a pretty great festival too!
