We might be attending an upcoming Tour De Fat in Colorado and I wanted something different to take should we go. I put this together a couple nights ago. The wheels and seat are off of this bike.

A friend recently visited the New Belgium Brewery in Ft Collins, Colorado and brought us back this Tour De Fat poster. We had it framed and tonight I hung it on the wall with all the other bike stuff in my room. We hope to be attending the TDF in Ft Collins this year.
Thanks Dave!

We drove for three days to get to Portland, Oregon to attend a bicycle event on Saturday where they preach about driving less. Aside from the guilt of the large carbon foot print we made to get there and them not serving our preferred beer, it was an awesome time! The TDF is a ballyhoo of bicycles and beer put on by the New Belgium brewery raising money for local bicycle organizations in the cities they are held. Not anti-car but pro-bike. This was our third Tour De Fat in just as many states.
I was surprised that there was not more people at the event with Portland being the bicycle city it is. I believe the TDF's we attended in Ft Collins and Tempe both had a larger turnout. The 6 mile parade ride through downtown Portland was great with the Portland Police blocking traffic the entire route.

Today we attended our 2nd Tour De Fat. This one in Tempe Arizona. The Tour De Fat is a bicycle parade/party/revival put on by the New Belgium Brewery. This is such a fun event!

This was the most amazing bike thing we've done yet. There was an estimated 4600 riders in the parade which could be a Guiness world record. What a great time!!

Update: I've since heard that the parade did not make the world record as it was not continuous. We stopped at traffic lights.
