It's all gone!!!!!!! The snow and ice are gone!!!!

On my commute home last evening I took a cruise down the Interstate 390 Bike Path (an MUP) to see if all the snow and ice had melted yet. It usually takes a while as much of the path is sheltered from direct sunlight and it gets well trampled down all winter from dog walkers etc.

Well, as I rounded the first bend and entered the first part of the trail with filtered sunlight I was greeted by this beautiful sight...





The snow has left the building, err MUP! I couldn't resist taking a picture of the gorgeous green grass further along the path. The leaves will blow away as soon as they dry out sufficiently.....





I was so thrilled to see the snow gone from this, one of my favorite trails, that I took another ride on it today. I cruised through Braddocks Bay Park and discovered that the Bay is ice free and the snow, including the drifts, is gone from the park. Here's 'Little Blue Bike' basking in the brilliant sunshine at Braddocks Bay Park.





From here it was time to head for home. I had pre-arranged with my bride to meet for lunch on my way back and called her to alert her of my approach to the Restaurant. Shortly thereafter as I rode along a new MUP by the Lake Ontario State Parkway I was reminded of the other reason for fenders....




Yep, Spring came early in 2010 and I'm taking full advantage of it.
