My first rides were in January, but nothing picture worthy. Then on February 18 there was a little longer ride punctuated by BBQ (note the snow around the edges of the parking lot):
Then in March there were a couple nice days scattered in among the cold nasty ones (this was on Mar 4. No photos of the ride up to Harpers Ferry on March 18):
The first ride of the year for me was March 4th. We have had a long winter here in North Iowa. We just got another 6" of snow last night and we got 16" just over a week ago.
New bike after 14 years away. First ride in Feb, been out three times since. but still cold around here.
It's only new once, and already looking different!
