late night Ice Cruise

[Walker]

met up with some friends over on little squam lake tonight. most were on skates but I dont have the ankles for that. so I took this

Mounted up some spikey rubber

the lake is in perfect shape for cruising..

Not alot of moon tonight and the clouds are just appearing for "the blizzard of 13", however there was just enough light to ride without any flashlights or headlamps

A frozen lake ride is a cool idea; I rode my trike on one year’s ago. Little Squam Lake isn’t too far from here, perhaps we could schedule a ride, but not a night ride – I kyn’da like to see the ice/liquid water transitions!

Looks like cool fun!

That's cool Walker. Looks like fun.

There's a long lake near Mt Greylock that we pass whenever we climb the mountain, and I keep saying to my climbing bud, "we gotta ride across that thing someday".

there's a guy who plows a big oval for skating and a winding road from one end of the lake to the other. My kids want me to do up their tires now of course. Daytime might be difficult to schedule for me but maybe not impossible. maybe closer to spring when the temps warm up though.

Can do – we can meet at the Holderness General Store (if you want) and ride from there; or, perhaps, we can make it into a group ride around parts of the Lakes Region for our fellow New England RRB’s!

sounds like the makings of a plan. I know some of my buddies from last night were interrested in setting up a bike or two.

8) Late April early May perhaps?!

Walker, your bike looks too cool with the studded tires
Cool to see someone else enjoying riding on frozen lakes

Just remember to not ride in a circle too long
Those studs will cut a hole and you'll fall in :lol:

Outstanding inspirational pics!

The curtain of ice was amazing, you could also hear/see water running down it slightly
Which was a bit unnerving...

Had to keep reminding myself not to backup (or get closer) for a better shot :shock: :lol:

Think it would be really cool to see this with full sunshine

Thanks for looking
Steve

I have a frame that’ll be used as a frozen lake bike, suddenly winter isn’t such a pain – so it’ll be named “Pain Killer!”

Thank you, Steve

Well, the frame is finally coming down off the loft; thanks for the idea, Walker.
