Who has walked across a frozen lake?


We went across June Lake in the Sierras over the weekend. Would it be cool to try to ride a bike across it?

Lakes and rivers are seasonal roads in much of Alaska!



If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!

Yep, walked and rode a snow machine just below 100 MPH, I know the ice was thick but it still freaked me out... I prefer to go around when I can. June lake area is so awesome, summer and winter..

Very cool photo!

Don't end up like the Boy Scouts at Convict Lake back in 1990.

I used to ride ice back in Michigan. You just put a couple of hundred sheet metal screws into your knobs, and get great traction on ice. Sucks on concrete though.
