Since there is still danger of black ice in wee dark hrs. of morning, I took the short route to work which meant cycling on road with cars in a hurry to get to work.

Then came back after work on route 2x as long ...on a bike path which I needed. First work bike commute for 2011 and a dinky, simple one.

I had forgot some parts of Canada get alot of sand grit on roads after long hard winters...Vancouver was never like this.
