The ride home was a bit more challenging than the morning ride, but I saw several other riders out having fun. I encountered a wide range of road conditions: slush, brown suger, loose snow, packed, polished, ice, bumpy ice, pedestrian packed, and depressed tire track channels. The ride quality of some of the side roads was actually much improved by a layer of packed snow. On the way home I saw a bike that was locked to a post at an intersection. It was also there this morning, so I think someone was out riding and decided to throw in the towel.

There were very few bikes at the university today. It would have been very challenging riding today without studs. Once the roads (who am I kidding, sidewalks) clear up people will start riding again.

I rode on a couple sections of MUP on the ride home. It was sort of packed from people walking on it, but was mostly bumpy and uneven. I pretty much had to shift to my lowest gear and bounce along at about 9km/h. But I did get to see a bunch of geese. Its neat watching them come in to land on the water (in the event of a water landing, yourself can be used as a floatation device).
