Well I actually had to work today (Sunday) oh wait I think I work 7 days a week now, anyway.. It being Sunday in Tahoe and snowing it meant TRAFFIC at a standstill. We recieved another 12-18 inches last night and so with avalanche control and chain control and too many people trying to leave no one was going anywhere, except me.
I started out in what should be bike lane but with too many cars too far right and 12 inches of snow where I could go I gave up and went down the highway between the parked cars. Everyone was very polite. I had one truck pull in his mirror so I could pass, others moved over just a little. I got a lot of "hey not fair" and "smart!" I made it to where I needed to go in 10 minutes while cars took 1 hour for the same distance.
My mountain biking skills are improving as trying to stay upright in Tahoe cement is a challange.
Appreciate all those cars though who gave me room and were polite.
