Title
Request from Capitol Off Road Pathfinders for a Fat Bike Winter Snow Use Pilot at Glenway Golf Course
Body
Madison Parks and The Capitol Off Road Pathfinders (CORP) are mutually interested in providing an outdoor winter biking opportunity for fat bikers in a Madison Park. Madison Parks welcomes the partnership as a way to increase winter sport options and usage of the park system in winter. A fat bike is an off-road bicycle with oversized tires of approximately 4 inches or larger. The larger tires distribute the weight of the bike and rider over more surface area, allowing for riding on soft surfaces, such as snowy terrain, that would be difficult for a standard bike tire. The fat bike tires also provide improved traction on top of the snow which reduces damage to the turf below the snow. Madison Parks and CORP would like to pilot a snow bike route for fat biking at Glenway Golf Course for the 2017-2018 winter season.
