Saturday night was time for the second kids safety event at the Resch Center. As fans came in for the Gambler game, families found numerous booths with safety related activities. Like last year, the team was in attendance helping with a miniature computrainer time trial and of course to do a little riding on the ice. Yes... ICE. Thanks to Shawn I was equipped with a set of homemade studded tires. These babies were so much better than the set I had last year, granted the other set I had used did not have huge drywall screws for studs.
(Though extremely sharp, drywall screws are good ice tire studs)The tires held on to the ice very well, as you may have imagined, and they look pretty cool on the bike too. (Especially because I spent three hours before the ride cleaning mud from shvegas.)
Overall we had a great turnout, about 10 riders on the ice and a few more manning the booth and handing out sponge bobs.
More importantly, the team was out in force showing how cool it is to wear a helmet. Events like these are a great opprotunity to lead by example and that is just what we accomplished. (While having fun tearing up the ice at the Resch Center, throwing sponge bobs into the crowd.)
