First ride since a snowstorm last Friday. 34F and sunny with no wind. Great day for a ride. A late start gave me about and hour to ride. There were some snow covered stretches on the MUT where the sun never melted it away, but at 34 degrees it was soft and slushy. I unclipped and rode on the platform side of my pedals anyway. No problem at all. On the return trip it had apparently gotten a little colder.... and just as I was coming to the end of a snowy stretch and contemplating clipping back into my pedals... well the next thing I knew I was lying on the ground after hitting my left knee and sliding just a bit. No damage except for a bruised knee and a slightly abraded left grip. I walked off the soreness in my knee and managed to get home in one piece.

40F temps promised later in the week...I think I will stay off snow...could have been much worse.
