Anyone riding on Rice Lake or know the schedule?

Have my studded Honda at a buddy's close to Rice Lake. We're hoping to enjoy some sloppy seconds on a Monday after Sunday racing.

Anyone know when they plow a track and race?

No idea, but this sounds interesting, post pics afterwards
We need more motorcycle stuff posted around here.

Ditto for pics. And an event review as well, if you can manage to type it out with frozen fingers…

Especially ice racing! Remember it used to be a thing in the 70’s, back when lakes would still freeze in winter. Thought it was all but a memory now in Ontario.

Depending on how thick the snow cover is, you may not have to wait for them to plow it.

I've been ice-riding over a lake with an inch or two of snow cover, still amazing grip. Anything much more than that will bog the wheels though.

So much hoonigan fun!

Definitely not, I was a spectator at rice lake back in the early 2010s?

Was anxious parking my car on the lake but was a field of pickup trucks so figured my Toyota echo was fine.

Yep. Grew up out west in the 70’s and lakes would freeze over and be turned into new roads.
Never forget driving across them with the doors open closer to spring. People took more chances then I guess

Can’t tell what bike that is? Gas Gas? Looks like a blast regardless.

Nice machine.

Buddy says there's too much snow to ride w/o a track.

My mom isn't far away and got feet of snow last week. She doesn't care about ice racing so she is not a useful source of info for you.

On farmer’s private land?

I think it was builders land, most farmland has been sold off in the area

So private land, still.

Ice fishermen. They were warned.



Good payday for me.

I would think so. I see a few bikes and snowmobiles running around in the fields

Probably e-bikers from downtown on their day off…
