FORT WILLIAM FAT TYRE WEEKEND – 10 UNDER THE BEN
The Fort William Fat Tyre Weekend is exactly what is says on the tin – a mountain biking extravaganza that highlights the Outdoor Capital’s unique, vibrant culture and awesome trails! No Fuss has been running mountain bike events for the past 8 years and you can get a professional opinion from the likes of Dirt, MBUK, and Singletrack magazines on the events that we run.

Some might say that the Fort William Fat Tyre Weekend has been a long time coming!  Fort William has again been voted as the best Downhill Event in 2012. We are hoping that 2013 is going to be another monster year for No Fuss Events, the demands on the team are ever increasing as our portfolio builds with Triathlons, Sportives, Duathlons, and Swims all trying to find places in the calendar.

When is it?  The fun kicks off on Friday the 28th of June until Sunday the 30th of June.

What’s happening?  It’s all happening! From a friendly pub ride out, to 10 Under the Ben, the legendary 6Hr Endurance Downhill and a new Enduro event for all on the Sunday.

Friday is traditionally the time for setting up for the weekend having a pasta meal and just doing what is expected! Not in 2013, ready for 1800 its time to go for a gentle spin around Fort William, get the legs working, sample a few wee bits of single-track, have a couple of pints and returning back to Nevis range for around 2200 (to catch last orders).

Saturday and there is something for everyone. Many mountain bikers will have heard of 10 Under the Ben; the race that launched No Fuss Events and the first of our ten-hour endurance events. Remember it that does not mean that every participant has to ride for a full ten hours. The expectation is that the majority of riders will be in teams and ride in a relay that is only one rider on the course at any time.
