The challenge Sunday was the weather. However, organizers said the weather was a way to add to the fun of the event because dedicated cyclists were able keep on going even in the worst of conditions because of the sudden warm up in weather.

Ice Bike has been a Winnipeg tradition for years and in years past has attracted over 100 riders from Winnipeg and outside.

This is only the second year that the event is being held at the new venue at Fort Whyte Alive.
