Winter quickly made its grand entrance into the Collingwood area in early November. It seems like the Halloween decorations were still hanging as the snow started to fall. With the time change at the end of October, midweek riding disappeared for most working folk leaving only the weekends for getting outside to ride.
If you are looking for something different to try this winter you can always give fat biking a try. For the 2019/2020 season, Highlands Nordic will be grooming and maintaining trails specifically for fat biking.
2020 Cannondale #fatcaad
I’ve had the chance to ride the trails a few times now and I’ve been very impressed. It’s so nice to be able to get out, feel the bike move underneath you and get a good workout. The current loop climbs up to the top of the highest point, meanders through the hardwood and evergreen forest before descending back down to the clubhouse.
If you are looking to experience fat biking but don’t have a bike, Kamikaze Bikes located on First Street in Collingwood has a rental fleet. Fat bikes are $50 to rent or if you are looking to ride at Highlands its’ $60 which includes a trail pass for the day. If you have already have a bike, a day pass at Highlands Nordic is $14 or an 8 pass is $80.
Check out Highlands Nordic website for condions and updates on the trails.
