Just a quick note to all on some updates.
Bob said that if there was enough interest he'd include some rubber tire races
in the program. I've seen rubber tired races, and unofficially done some and
it's a lot of fun too. With rubber tires, it is not about cardio or stength,
but about finesse, being smart and patience. So for thsoe who weren't really
interested in going because of the competitive aspect, or not really interested
in the work involved with making blade adapters or putting screws in the tires,
here's an option :) You just show up with your trike, bent or bike. And yes,
two wheeled bikes work fine too. If you have clips on your pedals, there is a
funky little one legged pedalling - one leg outrigger technique that can be
employed and it's actually faster around corners than a trike is. So, with
more class options, more fun for all :) Even the ones with specific ice racers
built, can bring their rubber tired HPVs. 2 wheelers can also be easily
adapted with a blade on the front. Bert has done it, and here's a link with a
couple other examples.
