Tour De Fat - Flagstaff 2007
2007-10-08 19:05:00 Thanks to everyone who made it up to represent at the New Belgium "Tour De Fat" in Flagstaff this past weekend. There was plenty of drinking and debauchery to go around for all on Saturday and some kick ass Flagstaff style downhill riding to be had on Sunday. The "Fuck Your Car" stickers were in Borat's terms "a great success" and we had people lining up asking for them from the get go. Crazy J was more than happy to oblige and many body parts were covered throughout the day. All in all a great weekend with the Phoenix crew! Be sure to make it out to next weekends Tour De Fat in Tempe on Saturday morning. The parade starts at 11am, so be sure to roll out early, bring the bike, represent and drink your asses off! Check out the few photos we did manage to snap before the vision got blurry in the photo gallery. 2007 Flagstaff Tour De Fat Gallery read more »
