The ride home today was really fast and fun. +1C with a 30km/h tailwind. I got up to speeds I haven't seen since before the snow set in. 35km/h maximum speed on the road heading toward the park.

I figured once I got on the MUP I'd slow right down, nope. Despite looking bumpy I was able to go quite fast on the snow, seeing my speedo go over 30km/h several times. There were many spots where my tires punched through the snow to the pavement below. 1 or 2 degrees warmer and I think it would have been a very different ride.

The forecast has snow for mid-week, so it will be back to riding slower.
