Crazy as it sounds I got out on the road this morning. The hubby and I and a team mate of his started the south loop. Lake Washington Blvd was actually dry and clean for the most part, but as soon as we began climbing up out of Seward it was an icy mess. Somehow we made it to the top of the hill, but it was pretty unpassable on a bike after that. Didn't ever fall down (those core and balance exercises on the ball are paying off!), but had some pretty hairy moments. We actually walked back down the hill, and weren't sure how we made it up in the first place when we looked at it and just did some laps down by the lake. The only places that seem passable are either spots that were in the direct sun on Thursday and Friday and melted off and dried or roads that have a fair amount of traffic on them to melt and dry them, but now since its snowing once again I'd say all bets are off...Some of the worst spots are placed where people have walked since it creates choppy ice thats just about impossible to ride on. If anyone does decide to go outside be careful, don't try to brake or steer or pull your foot out of the cleat if you get caught on an ice patch - just ride it out and when in doubt (especially downhill) get off and walk. If you do fall try to not stick out your arm - that's how wrists and collar bones get broken.
