Nice ride in this morning, slightly warmer than yesterday and far less snow. The main and side roads as well as the paved parts of the MUP were completely free of ice/snow, however the bridges were still covered with hardpacked snow and ice. I had to slow quite a bit on the bridges but didn't go down or even dab a foot once (although I did unclip a couple of times and use a leg as an outrigger). I was able to speed up and make up time once I was back on pavement. I guess they're calling for a "wintry mix" of snow/sleet/rain sometime today--yet another reason to take the bike and not the car.
