There were some extremely slick sections on the ride home yesterday. I was able to get my rear studded wheel slipping with little effort. One underpass has a frozen over puddle in it. Some days its solid enough to ride on top of, other days it breaks while riding across it. On days where it breaks, it can be a tricky section to get through.

The warm weather that started last Monday afternoon is continuing. -4C with a 15km/h headwind this morning. I was an hour late leaving the house, so I took the MUP to bypass the busiest section of my commute. I saw two other commuters this morning, one of them passed me. I didn't feel the urge to race as my legs have been sore with the transition back to the touring bike.

This morning I had a helpful idiot tail me in my blind spot instead of passing. Since I couldn't see the car I didn't want to make my left turn, so I just had to stop and let them go by.
