Thanks mate. 'Twas a mere 32kms but after weeks off it was a good start. Silly thing was packing a water bottle, and when I stopped for a water/Nuun tab break I found the bottle had leaked out into my Topeak bag. Dang... one small swig left...
If it's only a swig left, I prefer a dram ... but then it's almost the Saint's day ...Thanks mate. 'Twas a mere 32kms but after weeks off it was a good start.

Excellent idea... dram it...
Looked like an awesome day for a ride, Dave. Shorts and T’s would be a rather tall order here but we are expected to reach a high tomorrow of 16C. It won’t last for very long though as we’re back in the deep freeze by Wed with more snow expected in the forecast. Lucky charms for you that it will likely be warm enough tomorrow to don your Leprechaun shorts.It's about freakin' time...
Weather, work, and other stuff has kept me off the bike until today. Brushed the cobwebs off the bike (and myself) and headed out with some fantastic temps in the forecast.
Left home at 14C and expecting higher. Did not disappoint. Down to 2 long sleeve layers, and regular gloves.
Yup, still closed. Rats... almost 5 months now!
Complete gridlock on Hwy 99 heading South to the border...
The tide is NOT HIGH, and I'm movin' on...
Mount Baker at 10x zoom...
No idea...
No politics, but yeah...
Half way through I had to lose the top layer.
3/4 of the way I had to roll up my sleeves. Ended the ride at 19C. Could have been shorts and t-shirt!
Finally...

"Dram it" i will steal that line, I promise you..
We should get one more serious blast of cold and snow down here, if experience is any guide nowadays. But the daffodils are blooming and if "feels" like spring.Looked like an awesome day for a ride, Dave.

Here's lookin' forward to some nicer cycling weather!
Frankly my dear (Scarlett)...
Perzacly mate!
At least the grass there is a respectable shade of green. That in itself would be enough to cheer me up.
I imagine that you folks had your share of winter weather advisories. It was relatively mild for the most part here despite a few pretty intense snowfalls and one extremely cold snap in January. I suspect that this latest spell won’t be the last that we’ll see of Old Man Winter. Until the crocuses start to appear, I’ll keep the snow shovel close by.
Yeah, my lawn can get browned up, but green usually wins out...
Shrink Wrap Heli
We are done with snow shovels here . Warmest winter in years, now just deep mud. I spent most of the day reworking the raised beds so Babs can start her vegetable gardens. But I did sneak it a few minutes of bike riding.
Sounds way too "fetishist" for me, but then I am "old as dirt" .
Well I cannot attest to/for shrink wrapping of anything TBH... including (but not limited to) a Heli.
