The cooler mornings and nights, the “feels” like fall weather, the coffee shops releasing their pumpkin spice goodies…feels like iceman prep season is here!
I live basically Next door to Timber Ridge. It’s so fun on the weekends to see the increasing number of riders park along the road for an entire morning or afternoon. I imagine their routes and they’re downloaded .gpx files on their Garmin and Wahoos are directing them along previous years Iceman courses. I imagine the newbies getting out with friends and just following along the route having no clue where they are. I imagine the veterans who haven’t needed their GPS in years to take them out and back.
My 7 month old son and I take little hikes and walks together throughout the vasa and he always gets big wide eyes as we step to the side to let the bikers zooms on by. He’s a little too small to be on a strider or biking with me, but maybe next year you’ll spot him in the SNO CONE strider portion of iceman!
Wherever it be a Sunday social cruise or a Saturday every man for himself tempo race pace, one thing is certain – The “out and backs” have begun! Find yourself some fellow iceman preppers and come on out, it’s not too early!
