Default Helloooooooo SPRING!!!

i think the rainy weather's behind us and spring is officially here! we got blue skies, cool days, and gusty winds (typical for hawaii in spring). As proof, here's a pic snapped by my baby girl from the car when daddy went riding...lol.

Well I'm up in the craphole of Michigan so it will probably be another couple of months before we can ride. When we do get to ride we will be dodging potholes the size of Texas that will eat our bikes alive.

Same here. It feels like you're off-roading at the best of times but them damned potholes will rattle the teeth right out of your head. Spring? Maybe by June.

Hmmph. I suppose you're pretty proud of that bike, huh ?

I would be.

I gotta tell you, though, I sure would like Spring alot more if my body liked pollen.
