Mt Biking has its advantages:  FAT TIREs will take you places that you would never reach on a road bike....   FAT TIREs do require a little extra upkeep when the terrain bites back, which often happens when you   least expect it!   Below are some pictures of the carnage experienced on the FAT TIRE Challenge Mt Bike trail.      ***in all pictures, the Mt Bike and its rider were able to ride out of the woods on their own power

Snapped off the   replaceable derailleur   hanger

Fork crown broken and fixed with duct tape on the trail

Even 29ers flat out...here Travis helps Bill get his   bike running again

Handle bar gash and bruise from endo

Rear derailleur realignment...single-speeds are looking better everyday....

Gashes from going down hard into a trailside stump

Pinch flats are common in the rock gardens!

Can you say "Faceplant?"
