The MUP still hadn't been plowed for last nights ride home. I figured since they plowed it Friday, the city probably didn't think it needed to be done again. I gave them a call this morning to let them know it had blown-in during the weekend.

The blown-in spots actually made the ride more fun on the Pugsley. In one spot with just a 12" wide foot trampled path I was able to fly across it at 16kph without loosening my fillings. About 1/2 way home a race broke out with another commuter. I started out in the lead and I could tell he was really giving it to catch up. He seemed to have some off road mtb experience because when he got past me and flew down a slope that goes into a 90 degree turn, he was steering with his back tire.

-13C with a little tailwind this afternoon. Much of the MUP still not plowed, so I got to enjoy rolling over rutted single track. In the park a news guy wanted to get a few shots of me riding. He didn't ask my name so it will probably be used as part of a "people outside doin stuff" segment, or an opportunistic addition to his stock footage. To combat the ice from last week, the city has been laying down lots of sand. Which means there is going to be lots of mashed potato snow soon.

ps: when I mentioned to my mom how fun last nights ride was she said, "you're not suposed to be having fun, biking is for transportation".
