<p>It's completely covered in very slippery snow. I walked it as did the few other cyclists I saw there.</p>
<p></p>
<p>The stretch along the lake from Oak south wasn't too bad. I rode the whole thing being careful in a few spots.</p>

<p>The short off-road path just south of Fullerton is awesome for mountain biking right now. I had so much fun, I went back and rode it a couple more times. It's muddy but not too soft. You will get your pants dirty but it's worth it :)</p>

<p>I just rode from Jackson going North to Montrose. Wind was at my back which was nice. </p>
<p>Jackson to Olive Beach was nice; plowed and salted.</p>
<p>Olive Beach to Oak St. Beach was the most treacherous. Still not too bad; about 1 1/2" of snow, but it was slippery in places (note: I do not change tires in the Winter; simple hybrid tires with). </p>

<p>Oak St. Beach to just South of Fullerton was plowed and salted.</p>
<p>The area just South of Fullerton to Fullerton was closed and snow packed. Took the upper trail and it was fine. It was a nice hard pack with little mud/slush.</p>
<p>From Fullerton to Montrose was fine. Plowed and salted.</p>
<p>Along the entire route there are some fairly sizable puddles that you can veer around. These should be noted depending on the temperature and how much salt content they have in them...</p>

<p>Today (December 26, 2013), I rode from Hyde Park (51st Street) to downtown (Monroe) this morning, and the LFP was plowed and heavily salted. The path was wet, and had some dusting of snow in places, but was quite rideable. I did not encounter any ice during my ride, which was nice. </p>
<p>I think the most current conditions for the LFP are available via twitter. Search for #ChiLFT for fairly regular posts.</p>

<p>I rode the bus along Lake Shore Drive this morning and looked longingly at the LFP. The portions I saw didn't look plowed (from Belmont to Michigan). I saw one rider making a go of it, but he was out of the saddle and looked to be huffing-and-puffing to make progress. Hopefully, now that Xmas has passed, the CPD will plow the path today.</p>

<p>Monroe Harbor through Hyde Park is essentially clear, with some wet / icy patches around McCormick Place (particularly on the east side of McCormick Place), and with a puddle / broken ice mess south of the 41st street beach house. Very, very ridable.</p>
