Five minutes of fat bike news you can knock out before your coffee gets cold or the trail turns to soup.

Hit play and get your five-minute fat bike fix for the week.

Winter is hanging on, but the cracks are showing. This week’s Micro Dose covers the reopening of the Boneyard Trails near Farmington, New Mexico – 15 miles of legalized rocky singletrack that’s been off-limits for years. We also dig into fat bike trail closures as warm temps turn hero snow into soup, a community update from the Fat-bike Lab (now 70+ riders strong), late-season gear picks from Club Ride and Wolf Tooth Components, and a full weekend race rundown featuring the Trio 2026, Fatty Patty 50K, and the White Mountains 100.

And the wild card this week? A Norwegian billionaire who rolled into Nome ahead of the actual Iditarod winner. Craig Medred’s write-up on how that happened is absolutely worth your time.

If you want all the links, the full context, and the extra “you might have missed this” fat-bike goodness, the newsletter is where it lives.
