The 11th annual Tour de Fat, a 13-city traveling circus of beer, bikes and benevolent hedonism, seized the better part of City Park yesterday. Part beerfest, part rally, part concert, part family event, part freak show, thousands of cyclists turned out for the end-of-summer bash sponsored by Fort Collins-based New Belgium Brewing Co. Think Sturgis — just a little more eco-friendly. Weird was the norm. Reverb was there.
