SAULT STE. MARIE -- Fat Bike races are popping up all over the state as cyclists look to keep riding and racing year-round in Michigan.  Jorden Wakeley of Einstein Racing first rode a fat bike after winning one as a prize after a mountain bike race in August.

Ever since Jorden stepped foot and wheel on the start line at Hanson Hills in January, the competition has been chasing to keep pace.

His top finish at the Snow Bike Wolrd Championships on the  Noquemanon Trail in Marquette on January 26th marked his fourth consecutive winning weekend.  When it comes to fat bikes, Wakeley reigns supreme and undefeated. 

Wakeley will be looking for his fifth win on February 2nd, at the Fat Camp Bike Race.
