Fat-tire bike race kicks off weekend of fun in Ishpeming
At left, racer Aaron Roecker, climbs the last hill after crossing the finish line of the Fat-Ish Snowbike Race, which is part of the Wisconsin Snow Crown Series, at Al Quaal Recreation Area in Ishpeming Saturday morning. Roecker took third place in the intermediate 8-10 miles race.

Fat-Ish weekend events, some of which continue today, include fat-tire bike racing and demos, free tubing, music and food and coffee vendors. All proceeds from both days will benefit the grooming efforts of the Range Area Mountain Bike Association, a nonprofit trail organization. (Journal photos by Corey Kelly)
