Those pix just show a few of the amazing machines at the event. We had about 40 riders despite a
high temp of 10F and 15-20 mph winds.

There was much weird machinery this year. 3 IdidaBikes w/4" wide tires, a Zem, and a 1897 Tinkham
upright fixed gear trike, a clone of the Hannebrink Extreme Terrain

BTW the scooter, Ron Cooper's "Ice Birdy" http://mnhpva.org/ice/Ice2002/IceBirdy.jpg and another
ice racer are scheduled to be seen on the ice at Rockefeller Center next Saturday
6:00-8:00AM CST, on NBCs Today Weekend show.

It will take me a while to create a web page of the 2003 event, people are still sending me pix. But
the 2002 pix, report and results are at http://www.mnhpva.org/ice/Ice2002/Ice2002.html
