We're working with the East Grand Forks Greenway people to have good conditions for an icebike race. Anticipated plowing of the course down to just a couple inches of snow/ice over the bike path, but there
will be sections off-path that will be through deeper snow. As the race gets closer, we'll be able to know better what the conditions will be, but rest assured that we'll make the course as fun as possible for newcomers as well as interesting for veteran racers!
Course Map:
View Bikecicle 2010 Volunteer Positions in a larger mapOff-road portions mostly follow the Greenway path and will be clearly marked.
The races will occur on an open course--there may be/probably will be other people using the Greenway at the time of the race, so please do your best to keep your heads up and an eye out for those who may not know the race is going on. A friendly "on your left" if someone is walking in the middle of the path does much more good for the sport than scaring the bejeezus out of someone by blowing past and yelling at them. Bells are highly encouraged.
Conditions February 9th:
Ice and snow over path, should be a fast course. The park was plowed last week and will be plowed again this week; we'll see what happens with the weather!
