Fell this morning, thanks to the ice on the W&OD. I was doing fine, and was probably a little overconfident on the snow, but then there was this sudden and unexpected transition to ice. I had already crossed a number of other ice sections, with no incident, but this one wasn't at the 'end' of a snowy section, but rather in the middle. Other than that, and the inordinately long time it took me to ride the 9 miles, it wasn't a bad commute.

I have to wonder: would it really kill the municipalities to treat the MUPs a couple of days after the snow falls? I bet one guy with a large lawn tractor and trailer with spreader could cover the whole trail system in a day or two - and probably far less than they spend clearing the sidewalks around all the municipal buildings. I know, I know -- I'm whining.
