otto.f Posted January 18, 2014 Share #13203 Posted January 18, 2014 (edited) This has been done recently: Alaska, 500miles race biking, Tuscobia. Edited January 18, 2014 by otto.f Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tundraline Posted January 18, 2014 Share #13204 Posted January 18, 2014 Neither Alaska, nor Tuscobia, but sort of "close." 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thighslapper Posted January 19, 2014 Share #13207 Posted January 19, 2014 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) Fat-Biking in Minnesota ?.... where is more of a problem .... .... although I'd be stupid not to try somewhere around St Paul ..... .... but seem to be too many pine trees in the photo to me for this area .....

tundraline Posted January 19, 2014 Share #13208 Posted January 19, 2014 Getting close. In Minnesota, but definitely not St. Paul. Here's another clue: The below photo was taken just over 200 miles west and slightly north of the location in question. Welcome, dear visitor!

stuny Posted January 19, 2014 Share #13210 Posted January 19, 2014 If not Frostbite Falls, perhaps International Falls, often the coldest place in the contiguous 48? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vertekijker Posted January 19, 2014 Share #13211 Posted January 19, 2014 Nice pictures, tundraline! I especially love the one of the yellow cabin. But I have no clue where all this can be admired! Cheers. --------- Frans 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tundraline Posted January 19, 2014 Share #13212 Posted January 19, 2014 If not Frostbite Falls, perhaps International Falls, often the coldest place in the contiguous 48? Right you are, Stuny. This is the Arrowhead Trail that runs for 135 miles between International Falls (aka "Frostbite Falls," and the home of Rocky and Bullwinkle) and Tower-Soudan, Minnesota. On January 27, 2014, for the seventh (or eighth?) year running this trail will be the site of the Arrowhead 135 Ultra-Marathon, where entrants can run, bike or ski the trail and have 60 hours to go from one end to the other, unsupported. International Falls, Minnesota was engaged in a running fight with Fraser, Colorado for a number of years over who had legitimate title to the moniker "Icebox of the Nation." The last two photos above were taken in Winnipeg, Manitoba, site of another ultra-marathon fat bike race, the "Actif Epica" (see below photo of my bike lying on a dirt road south of Winnipeg last February -- note the horizon -- this is one of the flatest places on the earth, and has some of the most fertile soil on our planet). There is no doubt that International Falls is cold, but so is Winnipeg, which regularly has winter temperatures 10-15 degrees colder than Minneapolis. Winnipeg is a beautiful city.

tundraline Posted January 19, 2014 Share #13213 Posted January 19, 2014 Over to you, Stuny! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted January 20, 2014 Share #13214 Posted January 20, 2014 Thank you. When I was in SAC I spent most of my time in a base 15 miles west of Grand Forks. Though the temperature there was not quite as cold as International Falls, the incessant winds made it effectively colder. "The Peg" as we called Winnipeg it is colder, as it is in Churchill, but they are both in another nation. We'd go to the Twin Cities or to "The Peg" for civilization. For this one we once again see Barbara interacting with wildlife. The country is an acceptable answer, but where in the country would be better still. The guides have named this habituated but wild piniped, "Casanova." Welcome, dear visitor!
