Edit: no bike for me. I'll save the Pake from certain death until I can destroy it at a worthy speed.
I read on the site somewhere that it gets cold in the winter. It's also in an old rinkhouse though afaik, so it's likely to be on the cool side. It might be worthwhile to bring arm/leg warmers if you have them.

shiznaz: I'm bringing eggbeaters and mountain shoes.

cavernmech: I'm renting.
