Hey RickyD and Ol89er

[oldguy]

While you Californians were hiding inside to avoid those freezy cold 60 degree temps :rotfl: here is what we did :nener:

The rest of the story is here :ride:

60's??? I woke up at 5:30am to go for a quick run, it was 39 :ohmy:
Don't tell the track was once water? Ice breaks :coocoo:


Seriously, those are some cool (literally) pictures, what number was your bike? :) :ride:

 

[oldguy]

My bike will be #35 after I pick it up next weekend :nener:
35 years spanning between bikes then ride for 4 years and now no bike for 5 years :bang:
I spent the last 5 years putting my sons bikes back together and decided it is time for me to start bouncing off things again.

The track was and will again be water but for now at least it is 30 inches thick :nod:

Hope you guys warm up soon so you don't freeze any vital parts at the SX this weekend :)

 

[rickyd]

Limit those bounces and enjoy the ride :cool:

30" thick, No Way Jose would I go on frozen ice :fft: ( have any video?)

Luckily this weekend is calling out for 70's, but didn't somebody say the coldest winter they ever felt was a summer in Frisco? :)

It's always cold in Frisco. The first time my wife and I vacationed there we took nothing but shorts and T shirts. we froze our butts off. I think it was in June.

Oldguy.

That is totally cool. :cool: A TT track on ice. That looks like an absolute blast. Did the course go out into the woods or is it all on the ice?

Gotta admit though. Your wimmin folk sure look funny with all those clothes on. THAT could be the big difference between living there and living here. ;)

Supposed to be in the 80's in SoCal by Friday. :nener:

We have winnens here in the winter :whoa: I have to take a closer look at all those clothes next time. I just thought they all migrated south for the season.

track stayed on the lake for the entire distance but it was surprising how rough it got and even breaking bumps formed up in many places

What are you going to get Dave?

Does this mean you'll be riding with us in the Spring at Wardy's?:yeehaw: :yeehaw:

 

[BSWIFT]

As cool as those pics are.....I just can't get amped up to ride. We've got sleet and freezing rain right now and travel is not recommended. Being acclimated to the southern climate, the cold really bites. For those of you hearty enough to live in the northern US and Canada, I'm sure that those pics illustrate "just another day", for me, brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!:whoa:

 

[Richter415]

Thats it. My XR 400 is getting the ice tires on it tomorrow. I think that that right there is one of the best ideas for a bike race I have ever seen.

Rich I am picking up a 2003 RM125 and having Eric do some of his magic to it. I will be on a bike but the riding with you guys might be a dream at this stage :ride:

 

[Rich Rohrich]

You'll love a 144 in that bike Dave, it's a total blast!!

No worries Dave, you can hang out with me at the back of the pack and we'll tag-team crash Lou if he tries to lap us. ;)

Those videos are very cool Dave. :cool: Or, should I say, very cold Dave. ;)

That looks like so much fun. Looks like an old fashion So Cal TT scrambles track on ice. Take away the ice and add slick, hard packed dirt and you've got a So Cal TT track. Of course, without the danger of drowning. :ohmy:

... or hypothermia :whoa:
