Shuttle buses, sponsored by Access Press, will be provided to and from Jimmy's to Ramsey Beach beginning at 11 a.m. and running through the end of the Plunge. Shuttle buses are free to all participants and spectators. Because of the limited parking at the beach and with the questionable condition of the ice, only people with handicapped vehicle permits will be allowed to park at the beach. All others must ride the shuttle buses from Jimmy's.
