A brave group of cyclists is peddalling out onto the icy surface of Manitoba's largest lake to ride the burliest bikes on the market through blistering winds and blowing snow, all in preparation for a trip across the South Pole.
I saw this on TV. They were having enough trouble just with unloaded bikes. Trying to haul 10 days worth of camping equipment and food on a bike is pretty difficult on a paved road, they're going to have real difficulty in the snow. Seems like a bit of a harebrained scheme to me.
