We tied a rope to a mountain bike and towed each other around on skis and sleds on a closed-loop track on Briggs Field. The sledder/skier could turn off on a tangent track to get some air by cruising over a ramp. We put some half-inch steel screws through an old mountain bike tire for enhanced traction on the slippery snow. Top speed: Mach 2.
