The 'freedom convoy' never really loved Canada

#yycbike pathway report - Jan 29. The warm weather has created many meltwater ponds on the pathway between Stanley Park and Rideau Rd that are frozen in the morning. Going to make that section spicy next week when the cold and snow arrives. Hopefully maintenance will put lots of gravel down.

Health Canada is recalling the compounded semaglutide that I was moved to during the last shortage. They don't advise you stop taking it, they're just stopping the compounder from providing the alternative medicine in the first place.

Profits are more important than Canadians' wellbeing I guess.

If your #Garmin connect app on Android isn't showing the usual monthly challenges you can clear the app's cache and force close and re open to restore them. I spent far too long scrolling google results before I figured this out. I thought they had removed the monthly challenges altogether.

#yycbike update as of this afternoon, in reverse. Path between deerfoot and the golf course turned mostly to slush all the way to the train tracks, be careful coming down the hill. Zoo path still clear but there will be ice tomorrow morning at the bottom of those hills where water has been pooling.
#yycbike report for this morning. Sidewalks on zoo bridge are SLIPPERY, almost ate it. The path through the zoo and up to the train tracks at 16 Ave is clear and north of the tracks alongside the golf course is hard pack and ice. Brake slowly if you must brake on the bridges.
