What is a fat tyre crit?
As the name suggests, a fat tire crit is a short-circuit race, usually held in a downtown area, but the riders are all on their mountain bikes. Instead of a distance focused race participants will complete laps of the course for 20 – 35 minutes depending on the class entered, with a final lap after the bell to determine the winner. All out power and speed will not be enough as others will draft in your wake and let you tire out. Check out this video: https://youtu.be/G0iqWDBBO8I
