So once again we get our motivation to ride our fatties on the beach from Dave Cushnie! Here’s our “Fat Photo of the Month” (July’s is over due): ‘Back to the Beach with Dave” … in this case Grand Beach, Manitoba.
Thanks for sharing Dave! 🙂
Cheers, Fat Tom K

There some motivation to load up your Fatty and get adventuring!
Cheers, Fat Tom K
Here a few drone view pictures shared by Wayne Bishop of 2 Wheel Revolution showing some of the recent development at Bison Butte (located at Fort Whyte Alive in Winnipeg) that he has been helping Alex Man and others accomplish recently.

Alrighty then … it’s confirmed that Dave Cushnie loves riding his fatbike – everywhere! He is single-handedly schooling us on exactly where we should also be riding our fatbikes – right now!
That’s three months in a row … our “Fat Photo of the Month” goes to Dave as he’s back Rolling Fat on the Beach – Grand Beach that is!
Thanks for sharing Dave!
Cheers, Fat Tom K
Well now, it appears Dave Cushnie is our Manitoba ‘Poster Fat Boy’ for really riding his fatbike all year! This recent picture he shared of him ‘Rolling His Fatty on the Beach” near Grand Marais gets the honours this month (again) for “Fat Photo of the Month“:
Btw, check out the mini ‘icebergs’ still remaining in Lake Winnipeg!
Cheers, Fat Tom K
* So it’s been quite a while since I posted a Fat Photo of the “Week” and it’s been a busy winter; I believe it’s time to move to a new sustainable posting category – the Fat Photo of the “Month”.
So here you are … the “Fat Photo of the Month“: ‘Rider and his Dog‘ – Our very own prolific Grand Marais area fatbiker Dave Cushnie with his dog on Lake Winnipeg – beauty!
Terrific picture Dave! Thanks for the motivation to keep Rolling our Fatties! 🙂
Cheers, Fat Tom K
So Dave Cushnie (local fatbiker and avid fatbike single-track groomer – we appreciate his efforts at Grand Beach especially) has been posting some saweet pictures online as he continues to ride in the Grand Marais, Manitoba area including on still frozen Lake Winnipeg …
Thanks for sharing your rides Dave – looks pretty inviting to me!
Keep rolling your Fatties! 🙂

Merry Christmas fellow Manitoba Fatties!
It’s been a great 2017 and as we look ahead to this winter … we see a season of fun group rides, races and adventures for sure!
Of course, tomorrow may bring some of you some new fat bikes or accessories to add to the fun! It helps that Santa is a fellow member of our FBM ‘Fatty Crew’! 😉
Everyone had a great ride last Thursday night! We left the Woodcock shop at about 7 p.m. (after showing up for 6:30), rode North shadowing the Seine (because the river is not frozen yet), through Whittier heading East, over Esplande Riel, to the Forks, then back south on the East side of the Red River to the St. Vital Bridge, and back to the shop on St. Mary’s. Check with Woodcock Cycle, but there should be consistent rides every Thursday leaving the Shop at 6:30 PM (or 6:00 – check with them), with varying routes. woodcockcycle.com
This beautiful picture of our “Fattie – Not So Frozen – Dozen” enjoying some bonfire time at our campsite on Lake Winnipeg last weekend is courtesy of our very own fatbiker friend and photographer extraordinaire Gregory ‘G-Mac’ McNeill.
The rest of Gregory’s excellent pictures from our “2017 Lake Winnipeg Fatbike Crossing and Campover” adventure are on his flickr account here:

Thanks again G-Mac for capturing our adventure so well!
Cheers, Fat Tom K
