Here in Boston, definitive spring is announced by the blossoming magnolia trees along Commonwealth Ave (“Comm Ave”). Two days ago I took a picture of their current status as fuzzy buds…maybe in about two weeks

This weekend is another early spring event, the Boston Marathon. I think it always precedes the peak of the magnolias. In any event, after a week of rain, the winter salt is gone, and I rode the pristine S-works yesterday. I rode it once in February since being in storage since December, but now it’s out for good.
