Plans have changes since Lake Union has bad ice as of now. Chart House in Lakeville is the place to be on Sunday the 18th. Take 35 to Hwy 5 exit, left 1 mile, left at Chart House sign, follow to Chart House parking lot. Lake Kingsley. Any ?'s call 507-412-1711 I'll try to have my phone on me at the lake. Meeting around 11-12ish. Sorry for the late news but Union just isn't doable at this time.

Later,
Rob

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.

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.
