I was driving to Taylors Falls on HWY 8 this Sunday and saw 40 or more guys/gals/kids out on the ice on their bikes. Of course I had to stop and check it out. They had a 1.6 mile loop with a kiddie loop and nice oval for the big bikes. There were some 450's, some 2 smokes, a handful of ttr125s, a couple tiny 4 wheelers and 3 or 4 pw50's. There was even a guy out on an old trials bike. A guy named "Shaggy" (I think?) was the organizer and he the lives right there on the lake. Lots of families, a big bonfire and even a home-made ice/snow melter that smoothed out the track. Similar to what they use to dry the tracks at auto races. It had a helicoptor engine powering it. Pretty cool. The guy I talked with said that people were out the most weekends and had a 3 hour endurance race coming up. Seemed like anyone was welcome to come up and run what ya brung.

sunday was a great ride Very Happy

There was 21 bikes and a great course. I don't know if anything could top a helicopter melter for course grooming but we had a golf cart with a plow and a bobcat with a hydrolic sweeper... I have never seen ice so clean Exclamation

How about sharing some experience with the rest of us ice newbies? How long should the screws be, front and back the same? Is a liner needed? How many screws per tire? Anything else that would help someone when studding up tires for the first time? Inquiring minds want to know!!!

Union Lake near Northfield on Satuday (24th) this weekend around 12ish.
Fresh 1.8 mile track with a plow for most of the day. If you can bring a plow it always helps speed things up during the day.
