Threatening skies and cool temperatures couldn't deter over 250 mountain biking enthusiasts from attending the 4th annual GROC Fat Tire Festival, sponsored in part by Partners + Napier. The festival at Dryer Road Park in Victor, NY, included races and lessons for riders of all ages and skill levels, along with food, music, and carnival games.
Jon Brown, Director Interactive Operations at Partners + Napier is a founding member of GROC (Genesee Regional Offroad Cyclists). The group, with over 600 members, created this festival as a way to introduce the public to mountain biking, to advocate for the shared use of public trails for biking and hiking, and to educate riders on safety and responsible trail use and management.
