What? Are you kidding me? Isn't the whole point of Icebike that the race goes on? That we will not be defeated by winter. I propose we race anyway--if only out of a sense of spite or moral superiority. Besides, isn't it a little too early to panic and cancel? What forecast are they looking at anyway? Environment Canada says they LOW is -29 on Sunday, but posts a high of -23. Definitely raceable. This will not do. Look for a Saturday ride to scout out a potential course. And some sort of race WILL take place on Sunday. Penner changed his work schedule for this! It's bad form to let down the president.

What the What?
-23 is too cold for ICEBIKE.
Did someone just get back from Mexico? I think "Hurry for Curry" was colder than this...and I was throat deep in green Curry.
absolutely poor form!!
I think someone was looking for an out...I i can think now is to watch out for races being cancelled this summer because to high UU's, too many clouds, too few clouds, clouds that look like spaceships, frogs falling fom the sky, blue sky, full moons, and or locusts...
damn, I gotta start checking my work before I hit "send"
anyways, I'm sure you get the idea...
well, to be fair, it was because of the clouds that look like space ships that I haven't begun racing... but I think I'm almost over that...
those spaceship clouds keep me indoors on the nicest of riding days... I'm down for a sunday spite race. be sure to post the info!
bring yer stash
and a bag of mini dognuts and a "UU", make that a YooHoo, to the winner!
I would just like to say that i find many of your comments very disrespectful to the organizer and all the volunteers who have been working on this race/(event in which most participants are not racers but recreational riders) for the past couple of months. do you think that after all the work we have put in we were happy to cancel it. next time you begin to voice your uninformed opinion, maybe you should think twice.
p.s.prove your superiority at the start line on the 18th.
