LEWIS BY THOMAS AND MOZLEY Tour de Fat rolls through Lawrence By Adam Pracht Kansan staff writer Cold weather persisted and heavy rain fell for the third year in a row during the Tour de Fat, a festival of bicycles, beer and music Saturday at Burcham Park. But Nick Probst, a recent University of Kansas graduate from Des Moines, Iowa, said the rain didn't dampen the spirits of those who attended. "Is this a great day for a festival or what?" he said. "It would almost suck if it were sunny." The New Belgian Brewing Company sponsored the Tour de Fat, named after Fat Tire, a brand of beer sold at the event. The company supplied the beer, which was sold by the Lawrence Mountain Bike Club. All profits went to the club to maintain and upgrade Lawrence bicycle trails. The event was open to the public, but only those showing proper identification could buy beer. Lawrence is the first stop in the 12-city Tour de Fat. Other cities include Flagstaff, Ariz.; Boise, Idaho; and Seattle. David Kemp of the New Belgian Brewing Company said the Tour de Fat was part of the company's commitment to the environment. Bicycles are a pollution-free form of transportation. Brice McIver, Topeka senior, said he had a good first impression of the event when he arrived. "I like the community atmosphere," he said. "All the people sitting around, listening to music, drinking some beer, having a good time." The event began at 9 a.m. with bike rides for four types of bikes: a 25-mile road ride, a 13-mile mountain bike ride, a 5-mile family ride and an 8-mile "cruiser" ride for vintage bikes. In the afternoon, participants drank beer, ate food and listened to live music. Some took part in biker games, such as the paper-boy challenge, in which competitors tried to get newspaper targets around a course. "It's artistic expression," he said. "It's the comfort and slow pace of the cruiser ride. It's practical art. You hang it on your wall and then you can go out and ride it." David Kemp said the vintage bike show with 75 to 100 "cruiser" bikes was one of his favorite parts of the event. Dan Dicks, a Leavenworth resident, said that Lawrence was a good place to have the festival. He said that he and his friends frequently came to Lawrence to ride bikes and spend money because the city was such a bike-friendly town. Contact Pracht at apracht@kansan.com.
