It wasn't the most traditional setting for a bike race, but that didn't stop some 200 enthusiasts from taking to the trails Saturday at Albion Hills Conservation Area. The competitors are seen going off in the main event.

Some people can't get in enough mountain biking in the traditional season, but there's always fat biking in the winter. Some 200 people were out for Saturday's Fat Bike Festival at Albion Hills Conservation Area, run by Superfly Racing. Jay Ennis, a member of the support crew, explained a fat bike is like a mountain bike, except it the frames have been adjusted to accommodate wider tires with heavy treads to deal with the snow encountered on the trails. The tires are about four to four-and-a-half inches wide. The main event was divided in two heats. The men 50 and older, along with the women, head out on the 20-kilometre race.

There was also a series of 10-K poker runs.
