Winter Fat Biking Tips
-Keep tire pressure around 5 psi ( no gauge? apply pressure on seat and handle bars; if the tires start to flatten - you are good to go!
-Use your front brake! Too many riders neglect using their front brake and loose control of their bikes because the rear tire slides out.
-When climbing hills, stay in your saddle and pull straight back on the handlebars (towards your saddle). Do not pull up or use them for leverage for your pedaling.
-Look where you want to go, it's best to look at least 15 to 20 feet ahead of the bike.
-Remember that most of the trail is two-way, be sure to call out "RIDER!" when approaching a blind section of trail.

Trail Building at Mt Ashwabay
Mt Ashwabay's Bike Trail system is designed, built, and maintained by Volunteers. Do you have a great idea? Want to be part of the Trail Crew? Talk to an Operations Team Member at the hill.
We use donated equipment and Volunteer labor whenever possible. If you have earth-moving equipment, excavating equipment, or a tractor and would like to volunteer or donate usage, please let us know. We also welcome anyone willing to swing an axe, or dig in with a shovel.
