The Snowman Adventure Race
March 1st, 2008
Portland, Maine

What kind of bike do I need?

Any style of bike is permitted. Knobby tires are required!

Do my bike tires need studs?

Not necessarily. Those folks might have an advantage, but we don't expect riders to go out and purchase studded tires.

Do I need a helmet?

Helmets are mandatory!

What if the bike path has some snow & ice?

We hope you'll be careful and use discretion. Please walk/jog the icy parts.

What if the bike path isn't plowed?

Usually the path is somewhat packed down. However, there is a possibility that several inches of snow will be present. Be prepared to run with your bike.

If the path is only 5-6 feet wide, how do I pass other riders?

The start will spread out riders a little. We ask that you be careful passing and verbally express where you are: "On your right!" or "On your left!"

What should I wear?

Layers based on temperature. Warm socks, gloves, and headwear strongly recommended.
