From today's Minneapolis Star-Tribune: "Jeff Tucker of Golden Valley is all bundled up as he readies his 2000 Kawasaki Super Sherpa for the 75th New Year’s Day I-Cycle Derby on Wednesday at Diamonds Coffee Shoppe in northeast Minneapolis. Participants rode about 50 miles on Twin Cities roads in 20-degree temperatures. The derby is one of the longest-running motorcycle events in the U.S."

Is there a polar bear plunge at the end of the ride?

It's Minnesota.  Those dudes all have heated snowmobile suits.  The Hippo-hands he has above are one of the secrets to really cold riding but some people, believe it or not, get freaked out when they look down and can't see their hands.  Sounds stupid but it's real.
