Tour de Fat has really become a nation-wide event now. It started in Fort Collins, Colorado. Which is where the headquarter of New Belgium brewing are at, which is the founder of “Tour de Fat”. They donate all or a very large portion of the proceeds to bicycle safety and advocacy. New Belgium has consistently been voted as “Best Place To Work” in multiple different publications.

I had just permanently moved to Fort Collins 2 weeks ago before attending Tour de Fat. Needless to say, I had an amazing time and I think the photos speak for themselves:
