SaskCyclist,
yah, we really got dumped on with snow. It started Friday pm & snowed most of the weekend. I rode home Fiday, but decided I couldn't afford 1hr & 20min each way Today, so I drove. (I always feel like such a quitter when I don't ride
).
Actually, today would have been ok for riding (doh!), at least on the main roads I could have rode in the tire tracks. We still have ice under the snow in a lot of areas... with my worn out Innova tires, it just doesn't work very well to ride in deep snow over ice.
Still not sure If I'll ride tomorrow. I mentor a grade 4 student on Tuesdays - leave work for around an hour courtesy of my company. I don't want to take advantage of their generosity by taking extra time to ride in bad weather. I'm hoping the city will clear the bike paths by Wednesday - they seem to be keeping up with the trails alot better than the roads.
