I feel your pain. My stubborn side came out today, and I pushed the bike for almost 3.5 miles, foolishly passing up an oppurtunity to bail at mile 0.5. At mile 2.0 I figured out that the MUP from there on was not going to be plowed (incidently this was the point where I could see most of the rest).

I was a half hour later than I wanted to be (good thing I left early). I managed to break an aluminum pedal with my boot (and because of the -4 temps? maybe?) I could have ridden in it, but the amount of effort it took to keep going forward was more than my out of shape injury recovering self could manage.

The most annoying thing, was that the ice on top of the snow was _almost_ strong enough to hold me! But not quite.

I'm Googling through my options right now for the ride home.
