My optimism for the MUP to be cleared by yesterday's ride home was, well, overly optimistic. Had to backtrack a few times as I encountered uncleared sections. I got honked at on a short section of road near my house. That was the first time I got honked in quite some time. Seriously people wide road, go around.

-19C for the ride in this morning. I encountered an unplowed section of the MUP about 3km in to the ride. Unfortunately I had to walk the bike a few minutes just to see that it was not plowed. So I had to ride on the road a few km to bypass that section. The parts of the path that were plowed were not optimal. They used a tractor so there is a soft middle section and two hard tractor tire tracks on each side.

A person who decided to yield the right of way to me despite me having a stop sign almost got rear-ended. The car beind them swerved into the curb lane at the last second. I've taken to just waving those people on, they end up creating dangerous situations.
