Discovery Fat Biking Course

Freeport, Maine

Mountain biking season is officially extended! This exciting course will introduce you to the unique sport of fat biking, where you’ll pedal through beautiful winter landscapes using our special fat-tire bikes. Equipped with extra-wide studded tires, these bikes provide extra float and traction for cold-weather rides on frozen ground – and even over snow and ice.

After a brief review of gear, clothing, bike safety and proper bike fit, you’ll embark on about an hour ride on some local trails with wide, easy-rolling terrain.  

All necessary biking equipment is provided.

Get 15% off your total purchase price when you book four or more people for the same Discovery Course. Discount will be applied at checkout.

Additional Information

  • What to Bring

    • Weather- and activity-appropriate clothing (preferably synthetic*)
    • Waterproof jacket and pants
    • Fleece or wool sweater (appropriate level of insulation for the activity)
    • Long underwear tops and bottoms (synthetic or wool)
    • Insulated waterproof boots
    • Warm hat and gloves
    • Wool or synthetic socks*
    • Personal prescriptions such as EpiPen or inhaler
    • One quart of water (no glass bottles)
    • Sunscreen
    *Synthetic clothing dries quickly and is the best choice for outdoor pursuits. Please do not wear cotton clothing. When wet, cotton rapidly robs the heat from your body and takes a long time to dry. We also recommend you dress in multiple layers, allowing you more flexibility to comfortably respond to the weather conditions and your level of exertion.
  • Optional Items to Bring

    • Sunglasses
    • Small backpack to carry water bottle
    • Waterproof camera
    • Bike helmet (no more than five-years old)†
    • Fat-tire mountain bike†

Policies & Agreements

  • Smoking and Tobacco, and Alcohol Policy
    Smoking and Tobacco Policy

    L.L.Bean Outdoor Discovery Programs activities are tobacco- and smoke-free (including electronic smoking devices) in support of a healthy lifestyle and respect for our participants and guests. We thank you for understanding and respecting this policy.

    Alcohol Policy

    In general, alcohol consumption is not permitted during L.L.Bean Outdoor Discovery Programs events for the safety of all participants. However, alcoholic beverages are allowed on overnight trips and may only be consumed in a responsible way after the day’s activities are finished. If participants consume alcohol to excess in the evening and behave in ways that negatively impact their own safety, that of the group or the natural environment around them, our guides will intervene. We hope that we will never have to remove an offending guest from the remainder of a trip to ensure the group’s safety, but we will do so if necessary.


  • Minimum Age: 12 (17 & under with parent/guardian)
    Participants must be 12 years old by the start of the trip, course, or tour; a parent or guardian must participate with anyone 17 years old and younger.
  • Cancellation Policy: Discovery Courses
    This cancellation policy applies to all Discovery Courses.
    • 48 hours in advance:  100% credit or refund
    • Less than 48 hours: No credit or refund

    L.L.Bean does not usually cancel events due to inclement weather. However, we reserve the right to cancel an event at any time due to severe weather, low enrollment or other concerns. If L.L.Bean cancels your event, you will receive a full refund for the cost of your reservation. All refunds will be in the form of the original transaction. L.L.Bean shall not be responsible or liable for other expenses incurred by the participant as a result of such a cancellation.
