2012 Nelson Fat Tire Fest was a blast
By The Nelson Daily Sports
Three days of biking, starting of course with a parade down Baker Street, riding through bush trails and thundering down a wild cross country run and over jumps is all competitors could handle at the 2012 Nelson Fat Tire Festival.
Baker Street was filled with riders celebrating the start of the festival, held in the memory of Cam Alexander, who was an avid cyclist who lost his life while riding his bike 17 years ago.
The Kids Competition at Rosemont Bike Park attracted 90 riders along with 65 participants at the other events — cross country and downhill — making organizers very happy with the response for the 17th annual event.
