Fair enough, though I won't envy you the rain in the morning; chilly and raining definitely isn't my cup of tea. I definitely agree with the less crowding on the MUP - I don't remember it being this bad last spring... or last fall! But you're right: I will miss my ride tomorrow.
And I'm really torn for tonight's ride home -- I hate riding on the Towpath in/after rain, as it just mucks up my drivetrain too much. But I don't really want to take the 'long way' either. Decisions, decisions.
