Yup that's the spot, I phoned the city late this morning to see if they could plow it. It would be much easier if it were smooth and icy. It sort of slopes to the side, so I've had my wheels frequently slip sideways. I ride with clipless pedals, so going south I'll unclip part of the way down the one side and just push with one foot for a bit.

I ride 15.5km from the North West (Westhill) out to the University. If I leave late I usually get on the bike path at Dorothy street, and get off on 11th near the RCMP. But lately because of the icy section I'll go past the dog park to Pasqua Street.

I rarely encounter any cyclists until I get close to Regina avenue, but it could have been me. I have a bright headlight, bright fast flashing tail light and have been riding with a left red pannier + trunk bag. And I do tend to go fast when I'm on the touring bike.
