Just your friendly neighborhood reminder that the 10th annual WMBA Fat Tire Festival is this Sunday (10-4, Rain or Shine) @ Blue Mountain Reservation in Peekskill, NY.
Almost all the shops in Westchester will be there, along with live music, demo bikes, guided rides, clinics, contests, give-aways, and just a whole bunch of people who love bikes.
I really encourage anyone who can to come up and check out the festival. It's always a great time and is fun for people who've never experienced biking before all the way up through hardned experts.
