You’re Invited to Global Fat Bike Day 2025!
Dear OMBA Friends!
Saturday, December 6, 2025 is Global Fat Bike Day!
Many people are gathering at Larose Forest at 10am for fun group rides and to celebrate a day of cycling on Fat Bikes!
Larose and OMBA are aware and have already been looped into this event.
If you are not an OMBA member, you will require a day pass. OMBA admins have made it easy to get a day pass at this link: [Larose Forest Day Pass – Ottawa Mountain Association](
https://ottawamba.org/day-pass/) 🙏
Please share the news with all your friends.
And let's all pray for snow! ❄️❄️❄️
Note: this is not an official event. Just a bunch of individuals agreeing to ride together to celebrate fat bikes… at their own risk and responsibility.
