Anyway, the ride today was pretty darn cool. I was afraid there might be some ice on the roads, but encountered none. Fingers were a bit chilly at first but not for long. Strange - usually fingers get colder the longer I ride...

Weird stuff with routes today. I decided on one (I have several favourites) and then had some much fun passing a traffic jam on Davenport that I missed my turn-off. Shoot! Ok, I figured, I'll ride to Yonge, take Yonge to Bloor and just bike straight along Bloor to the Bloor Viaduct and over, and from there take the route I meant to take. So I was riding along Yonge and suddenly see the sign "Wellesley". I missed Bloor! Torontonians will understand.

Coming back, I decided to take the Millwood Bridge for variety but as I approached it, I saw a police car blocking the entrance to the bridge. So all the motorists had to curse and take a detour through some other bridge (which, of course, created a bunch of jams in the vicinity) but the cops just waved me through. Awesome! A superwide empty bridge all to myself! Too bad I was riding so slowly 'cause of the headwind. After crossing the bridge I saw more police cruisers (three or four I think!), a bunch of yellow tape at an intersection and two badly mangled autos. The police directed me to a quick parking lot detour to bypass the intersection and I was on my way. Very little traffic for a couple of km after the bridge as well because most of the usual traffic there comes from the bridge. Heh heh, gotta love riding dat bike!
