riding on ice

rolling on the river

So when it is freezing out and there is too much snow out on the trails to ride, what is a mountain biker to do? Ride on a frozen river of course! On Monday my buddy and I went up to Algonquin IL, to see another buddy and ride the Fox River. We were up there early in the morning and river was frozen solid, or at least 10 to 12 inches thick. We started of the ride by jumping off the dock into some think powder. As we rode on we found that the best way to move was to follow in the snow mobile tracks. After the 2 plus miles to the end of the river in downtown Algonquin where the damn was we stopped for an hour to eat some lunch and regain some power in out legs.
