Rather than having group camping, like last year, we encourage you to RSVP your own campsite at Dew Drop for social distancing purposes. Please consider bringing a mask for your safety and the safety of others. We will also limit group rides to small socially distanced groups.
With that said, we fully expect to have a great time! Everyone is welcome to this event. In fact, we would love to see new faces and new riders. We all know that The Trails at Jake’s Rocks absolutely rip, so we hope to see you at our WNYMBA Rips the Rocks event!

Fat Bike Fun Rides at Allegany State Park
2020-01-03 19:00 - 21:30 | NY
The Allegany State Park Environmental Education and Recreation Department and the Western New York Mountain Bike Association (WNYMBA), are excited about hosting another year of Fun Fat Bike Rides on Friday, January 3; Friday, February 7; and Friday, March 13, at 6:30 PM with the ride starting at 7:00 PM. Although pre- registration is not required, check in will be in the main lobby of the Red House Administration Building. Bring warm clothes, a helmet, a headlight, and sense of adventure.

Contact 716-354- 9101, ext. 232 before noon on the day of the ride.The 3-5-mile fun rides are for all levels and will last up to 2 hours, depending on the weather. Riders will wind through the Red House area of the park. All riders are invited to attend the after-ride social hosted by WNYMBA in Red House Picnic shelter. Come by for hot dogs and door prizes.
Fat bikes are the monster trucks of the bike world. With big tires, typically 3.8 in (97 mm) or wider, they are designed for low pressure to allow riding on soft, unstable terrain, such as snow, sand, bogs and mud. They have been around since the early 1900’s, but it wasn’t until frame builders in both Alaska and Mexico began experimenting with different frames, parts and tire widths in the 1990’s that “Fat Bikes” were born.
Look for more bike rides on non-holiday Monday nights starting January 27th. Meet at the Red House Administration Building at 5:30 PM with the ride starting at 6:00 PM. A limited number of bikes are available free of charge for the program. Please pre-register by calling 716 354-9101, ext. 232. If there is no snow, any bike is welcomed.
For more information contact the Environmental Education and Recreation Dept. at 716 354-9101, ext. 232
