#yegbike commute: a chilly -8°C with southwest breeze. Surfaces mostly nicely covered by snow, for the most part okay. Took MillCreek for good result, mostly crunchy snow, but ice is underneath. Hills were taken slowly and carefully. Minor roads up on the flats good, keeping in mind ice and mush […]

#yegbike commute, pm update:
The MUPS that were not cleared earlier were cleared either last night or this morning. As a result, the 96th Street MUP from 118thAve south to Jasper would make a really good curling surface.

#yegbike commute: what a mess. Around 0°C with northwest wind. Rain? Sleet? Don’t know what to call the precipitation. Anyway, it’s not quite icy, but the snowpack is a slippery crunchy messy surface. Slipped a bit even with the spike tires, and certainly did not make speed records.

The supper prep is put off a bit as I switch over to the ice bike. With the moisture on the streets this afternoon, and the projected overnight temps and more precipitation around the 0ºC range, it's time.

Well my Cyber Monday cultural reference/joke has bombed big time.
It depended on a knowledge of Dr. Who villains. Turns out no-one at my work watched or had kids who watch Dr.Who. And YouTube (at least on the iOS app) doesn’t let you share links anymore.

There is a whiteboard that has the social calendar displayed. Every morning I put up today’s date and whatever special day it is (national day of mental health or whatever).
But today ‘Buy Nothing Day!’ Is up on the board.
Unfortunately the bus out trip is to Cabela’s, so that won’t work out.

Thanks to @bikeedmonton.bsky.social, the ordinary-tired winter commuter bike is finally all fixed up and retooled.
They have 3 tiers of showtime - full assistance, some assistance, and DIY in the shop. While today's work was mostly done by me, without the expert knowledge of Larry popping into […]
