Ice Luncheon - 2022/02/28

As promised, a perfect way to end February, a celebratory picnic on the frozen Mississippi.  It felt and actually was wonderful!  I was dressed for it so was not only comfortable but found it very relaxing in some mild February sunshine, right there on (or very close to) the Minnesota/Wisconsin border.

  1. Nicely done video! Some studded tires would’ve helped on that icy section but, I take it, they’re not allowed?

    1. Thank you Richard! Studs aren't legal in Minnesota though I'd use them on the gravel and ice if I did more riding in the winter. Needed to be a bit cautious about getting too far off the tracks out on the lake, some of the drifts were deeper and hard. It wouldn't take too much for more effort than I was willing to put up with. I purposely chose that path to see if I could chug my way up the slope....I could not, had to pick a bare concrete track.

    1. That's often the issue, not enough swing arm clearance. I don't really need more traction, motorcycles are for warm, sunshiny riding on civilized roads.

    1. Thanks Dom! You and I both need to be cognizant of where we stop and spend time in these wilderness areas.
