We’re celebrating Global Fat Bike Day by rolling out for a group ride at Herrington Manor State Park on December 4th! Deep Creek Adventure Bureau is about connecting people with the recreation opportunities that abound in Garrett County and the surrounding area! With some awesome volunteers and a few cool groups like Garrett County Outdoors and the Department of Natural Resources working together we’re taking part in this global event locally. The goal is to connect people, with outdoor activities to promote wellbeing!
This is a FREE event for the whole family. Dress warm, sport your warmest hat, and make sure you leave your “good” shoes at home! The boathouse will be warm with a nice fire but the capacity is rather limited. Restrooms will also be available. The trails at Herrington are well groomed with some elevation so you’ll most likely work up a sweat, but go at your own pace and enjoy every second. I’m certain you’ll be glad you said YES to the adventure! Mountain bikes or fat tire bikes will be best suited for this particular event.
No bike? No problem. Sarah is sponsoring the fleet of adult and child-sized fat tire bike rentals from Herrington on a first come- first serve basis so please give her a call and let her know if you need to use a bike. Never been on a fat tire bike? Don’t worry about that either- there will be free bike clinics starting at 11 to make sure everyone is 100% comfortable!
Call Sarah at 240-321-9925 if you need a bike and check out the brand new website for Deep Creek Adventure Bureau found at dcabfun.com.
Join the discussion below by answering the prompt (Is an outdoor activity documented in your camera roll in the last few weeks, if so give us the details: who, what, when and where….GO!!!), and you’ll earn 5 MORE prize points for each post through the end of the year!

If I was younger and in shape!!!
nope! we will have ALL fitness and skill levels there on Saturday! We have several friends that are 60
+ riders … you can go as far or as little as you’d like!
Great opportunity for a fun family picture for the Christmas card. Hope we have a little snow.Makes the mud look better! Thankful for Herrington Manor State Park!
oooh! great idea for the Christmas card!
I may have to give this a try. I have never ridden a fat tire bike! Thanks Sarah and Herrington Manor State Park for organizing this event!
I hope you can make it!!
I’ve never ridden a fat tire bike, but this sounds like fun!
we’d be happy to have you join us! 🙂
Do not worry about your age or fitness or even skill. The trails are pretty easy and there will be a beginner guided ride for all abilities at 12:30 and a short get familiar with the bikes course at 12 noon . We will stop when needed to let anyone take as many breaks as needed. Do not worry about needing to stop for breaks because this is just for fun and to get people out on fat bikes. This is a great way to enjoy another fun outdoor activity Garrett County has to offer. Fat Biking is way more fun then you would think. Just saying!!!
Thanks for watching — every single person, regardless of fitness level, is welcome on Saturday! And, I’m not just saying that – I don’t want anyone to sit on the sidelines wishing they could try… this is your time! 🙂 Please let me know if you’d like a bike! Just call or text (240-321-9925) so we can get you on the list. We will be meeting at the Lake House at Herrington Manor State Park. You go through the entrance (the entrance fee will be covered) and stay to the right.. down over the hill… the road ends in the parking lot where you should park. I’ll be in the same tie-dye shirt: come find me, and say hi and we’ll get you set up!
Love your tie dyed shirt!
Thank you! I love tie-dye!
This sounds like a fun event. Thank you for this information.
Hope to see you!!
Sounds like a pretty cool event. May have to check it out.
Hope to see you out on the trails! 🙂
Sounds like a fun event!

This is great Sarah. I will try to find a post about it on FB as im sure you have one up – i will share it on my FB page as well as my Fit With Jen Studio Page.

So, you can click on any of the buttons right under the Thankfulness banner of Sarah and share the actual post yourself with basically no additional effort. THANK YOU JOHN!!!
I’ve seen people posting about this event in some of my Facebook groups. Great opportunity.
This sounds amazing
This is SO COOL! As a Minnesota native, I remember “fat tire” bikes coming on scene and riding one down a snow covered street. I loved the feeling of floating across the snow…just couldn’t stop that well! Fortunately, snow is also fairly forgiving!
As for the prompt above, a brisk walk in the Grand Tetons is an outdoor activity in my camera roll from two weeks ago…it was early morning, I was hiking solo, and the stillness of fresh snow and mountain air was exhilarating!
As John Muir famously said, “The mountains are calling and I must go…”
Anybody up for a road trip?
A hike in the Tetons sounds great! I’m in 🙂
I never realized Deep Creek had an adventure bureau. I think it is great that people volunteer to plan activities like this to get people active and to recognize the natural beauty of our area.
Thank you! We’re new but we want every Garrett County Resident to be able to try and say.. “I’m a biker” .. or runner or hiker or skiier or outdoor enthusiast!
It all sounds awesome!
Love that shirt!

I love the effort to connect people with the recreation opportunities that abound in Garrett County
Good job Sarah and bike group! But first I need a bike and need to practice 🙂
