I live basically Next door to Timber Ridge. It\u2019s 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\u2019re 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\u2019t needed their GPS in years to take them out and back.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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\u2019s a little too small to be on a strider or biking with me, but maybe next year you\u2019ll spot him in the SNO CONE strider portion of iceman!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wherever it be a Sunday social cruise or a Saturday every man for himself tempo race pace, one thing is certain – The \u201cout and backs\u201d have begun! Find yourself some fellow iceman preppers and come on out, it\u2019s not too early!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
