Hello! Great to see Saskatoon input :-)

This is my third winter riding in Saskatoon and second since we sold our car. I agree with you hshearer about warmth: i could never work up a sweat driving in January the way I can biking. I find the most important clothing is mitts, boots, ear-covering, and when colder, chin etc covering.

Meewasin trail does get ploughed but this can take time after any blizzard or snow event. They seem to be more serious about it now than even a couple of years ago -emails to your councillor are a good idea to let them know we rely upon these MUTs. We too, bought our house near the trail for commuting purposes and are very glad we did.
