We ride bikes in Alaska in the winter, but the best races are in the summer. People come from around the world for those races. Animal means a guy or girl is very strong on uphill climbs. The animals usually win. don ----- Original Message ----- From: a1hawkeye@juno.com To: Scottsfamilytree@aol.com Cc: IOWA@rootsweb.com Sent: Tue, 3 Mar 2009 05:53:51 +0000 (UTC) Subject: Re: [IOWA] Polar bear Bicycle club There are bike clubs that ride in the winter. The largest winter ride is probably the BRR ride, or Bike Ride to Rippey, which goes from Perry to Rippey the first weekend in February. It is often VERY cold. It was pretty good this year and had quite a few riders. You might contact a bike shop in Cedar Rapids for more info. =============================== Is there are group of Iowans who ride bikes in the winter called the Polar bear Bicycle club? Possibly in Cedar Rapids. I know people go swimming in the ice in the winter, but ride a bike?
