I got out for a road ride today, only my second time on the bike after returning from North Carolina on Sunday and my first attempt into the park since I was last on skis. I've been watching
Charles' Parkway Ice/Snow Watch with interest and wanted to check it out for myself.

| Little bit of snow heading down towards the Kingsmere Rd overpass. No need to get off the bike. |
 |
| Big patch of ice under the overpass. In the sunlight, if you didn't know better, you might think that it was just wet. You need to dismount! |
 |
| The little climb after the overpass heading up to Penguin there is a washout on your righthand side - reminiscent of last years damage on the road in the same area. |
 |
| North Loop (P8 Parking lot) is taped off due to another washout. I didn't bother heading past it, but I am guessing that the North Loop is completely snow/ice free - it usually goes first. |
I turned back after reaching P8 and rode back to the Champlain turn-off. Here's as far as I got as the snow before Lac Bourgeois is thick:
 |
| Pink Lake still frozen over but shows signs of breaking up. |
