 Join us for an epic winter day on frozen gravel and singletrack with our fat bikes and frosty smiles! This is a 40 mile guided ride combining all our best dirt roads and local trails. This is a no drop ride and not a race, however you are welcomed to complete at your own pace.
Not feeling up to the entire 40 miles? No problem! Cut out at any point and meet us all later for a pot luck feast. We encourage everyone to bring food & beverage to share for when we get back.
We are limiting registration to 30 riders and requiring everyone to be able to be at least an intermediate rider, and able to ride 40 miles in under 4.5 hours. There will most likely be a SAG for those who absolutely need a ride back to base.

Founded in 1945 on the heels of postwar Polish independence in Gdańsk, the Polish Baltic Philharmonic is the largest music institution in northern Poland. One might think that long periods of political turbulence may have weakened the arts in Gdańsk, yet the reality is quite the opposite. The Polish Baltic Philharmonic, as it exists and thrives today, represents an amalgamation of international and historical influences, while still capturing the pride and artistry of contemporary Poland and the larger Baltic Sea coast.
