Well the ice is finally gone on our side of Lake Ontario and today was a decent day for riding.







In another month this area will be crawling with bikes but only saw a handful all day.

One of our coldest and most miserable winters here in Kansas that I can remember. The trend seems to be just 2 seasons any more, summer and winter, no spring or fall. We are probably close to 20 degrees above normal today. It was in the 50's last week and now we are above 90. Wichita Kansas recorded 102 on Sunday. Crazy. Great pics, thanks for sharing.

Typically we can ride about 8-9 months if you don't mind a little cold. This year has been different though. Hey Wander, where are you in Ontario? I'm from Brantford.

I was going to ride today but it's in the high 90's out side and 78 in the pool so i figured I'd just spend the day swimming before the water gets to warm to enjoy!
