The Waterfront Trail was clear and dry today. First time out for the 3 speed fixie this year. Sure was nice to get back out on that bike.
Took this shot at about 2:00 this afternoon.
+1 and it's starting to look even better. The birds are coming back. I was out walking on the Waterfront Trail yesterday near mty place and there were about 2000 Canada geese offshore at Petticoat creekOriginally Posted by Dan Burkhart
Most of the snow is gone on the north shore of Lake Ontario. There is still some traces of the snowbanks on the side of the street, but most of the grass is exposed.The Waterfront Trail was clear and dry today. First time out for the 3 speed fixie this year.

Time to get out there.
just keep riding
Spring does have it's downside.
Zyrtec or Claritin or Allegra or whatever aside, when the pollen kicks in full force around here, the sinuses start draining, the nose running and the coughing begins. I can't believe the amount of gunk draining out of my head!

I haven't got hit ... yet.. Once the trees start budding, my eyes look like a bowl of tomato soup, the nose runs and all the rest that comes with it will hit me like a ton of bricks.
FInally got the Roubaix out for my lunchtime workout. Spent a little more time than usual (90 min) getting acclimatized to riding with a compact double instead of a triple, riding around the neighbourhood getting the feel of it. Flats, rollers, a couple of long hill climbs, what an improvement from an aluminium frame ! Smooth and responsive with no flexing anywhere even when I put some muscle into it. If I didn't have a self imposed time limit (some of us still have to work), I would have stayed out all afternoon.
The 3 week layoff after xc-ski season ended was really hitting me though so I only put in about 15 miles . I haven't mounted the Sigma sensor kit on this one yet and I keep forgetting to press start on my Garmin and I know I covered over twice the mileage than it was telling me.

St. Patty's Day and our first day of 90 degrees . . . a bit early even for this part of Arizona.
