I'm still commuting in (out out as the case may be) every day from the Carling/Kirkwood area to near Alcatel on the March Road in Kanata.
If the roads are clear, my limit is -15 Celsius, below that it can't make it half way before the water bottle freezes up. I picked up a Planet Bike NiMh light at M.E.C. last year. (9/12/15 watts) and it does me well when the sun doesn't shine. If there is no snow, I stick to bike paths as much as possible. Once the snow is impassible on bike paths, I change my route to go solely by road. And I can vouch for Les, as I see him coming from the opposite direction almost every day. regards, Greg Phsyclist -----Original Message----- From: Henry Troup [mailto:hwt@;igs.net] Sent: Thursday, October 24, 2002 11:57 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [obc] Who's still commuting? Although cold, the weather is decent, and the conditions can be very pretty. Tuesday, I had a nice ride from Bell's Corners to Kanata, on pathways, with a lovely light carpet of fallen leaves. It was so nice, I thought of "calling in well" and keeping going. But I didn't. Tomorrow - Friday - looks reasonable, and Monday is a maybe. The Weather Network http://www.theweathernetwork.com/cities/can/Ottawa_ON.htm predicts white stuff Tuesday, however.
