North Branch Trail Not Melted!

I just wanted to post a heads up for anyone who rides the North Branch for commuting or otherwise.

I hopped on at Winnetka Rd. on my way home from work today expecting to find the path mostly melted with the warm temps and rain.  About a quarter of a mile in I found mostly ice.  I ended up walking my bike to the Happ Rd. exit and rode on the street the rest of the way home.  I would have been able to ride with studs or some thick knobbys, but not on my normal 32c Marathon Plus.

I was hoping for a nice relaxing ride home away from the SUV's, slippery lane markings, and dirty curbsides, but alas.

Apropos... I saw on another thread that there is still snow on some of the bridges downtown.

Be careful!
