Bicycle commute is on hiatus for a couple of days to let the MUP settle down. Last night I slogged home through a few inches of heavy snow with a nice crusty layer on top. I put up with about a mile of it, then bailed up to North Ave (for locals) and found the sidewalk to be plowed. The road was a sloppy, cagey mess, so sidewalk it was! Wrong way, even! I'm such an outlaw.

Oh, and two x-c skiers asked me to take their picture next to the lake on the MUP. I was happy for the break, actually.

The MUP needs to get packed down before I try again. Supposedly it's getting plowed for 3 miles or so, but it certainly wasn't that way last night. Gotta love Burlington. Hundreds of miles of plowed sidewalk and they can't plow 5 miles of MUP. (This is an annual rant of mine.)
