This was my strategy this morning, though I did use the one shortcut that was still caked in wheel-packed crap which was slippy, I just went slowly there (read: VERY slowly and unclipped )

I definitely underestimated how wet it got and didn't put my booties on much to my feets eventual disappointment, my one shoe took a bunch of water at some point I don't remember and I had wet cold toes

I just took the regular majors though, steered clear of the puddle zone as much as I could as I don't have the pothole-map memorized, and some of those stretches on Keele are brutal - almost wiped out at the 401 squeezing down between the curb and a car in some slippy crap and the road surface gets all uneven without me noticing..

Ride home was clear but for a wee bit on the side streets in my immediate neighbourhood which made for fun seated skids Said -2 but GD it felt colder tonight for some reason.
