Spring rides

Spring is here (it hit 32F today!). Went for a nice jaunt about today. With the area's first Brevet in Talkeetna only 5-weeks away, I hope I can remove the studs soon.

Alaskans are different breed. I hope I never live where I need a ladder to get the snow off the roof. I hate winters in PA.

What handle bars are those? They look like a nice shallow drop.
