    Default Sunday 11:00 AM, Treehouse Pub. Stomp Duck Creek.

    I'm betting the ice is thick enough to make a good ride, but I've never done this ride before. Others have- Treehouse is on Elmore about 1/2 way between Locust and Kimberly on the East side- right next to the creek. They have beer and pizza. Show up at 11, rolling out at a hard 11:30.

    Believe in yourself? Well sure, of course. But be aware that "believing in myself" has been the root cause of most of my injuries.

    Most of the thick ice broke up and went down the river when it last thawed, so I'm not sure about thickness since then. Hopefully someone will know the answer to that.

    Pretty amazing.

    We made it all the way to the mouth at the Mississippi. A few spots of open water, plenty of super slick areas, tons of fun and smiles.

    Do you need studded tires for this? Sounds interesting
