Here are few shots of the F.O.R.C. (Friends of Off Road Cycling) groups annual Frozen Fat Fondo Fest, held Jan 25th 2020. The wooded gathering scenes were at a spot called the "crotch" due to a crotch like shaped pair of trees you had to ride through.

The event was held at the Credit Island Lodge in Davenport, IA.
