    Can you still get a free cereal breakfast at the Kellogg plant in BC? Used to go there every morning as we did alot of seismic surveying back in the 70's when I lived in MI.

      Here in the Reno, Nv area we do get alot of snow, but they do take care of the roads. If theres no Ice, I ride. Its been one of the best winters in a long time, even with the snow the temps have been tolerable. Gonna ride tomorrow...Hmmm..Decisions..Virginia City or around Lake Tahoe?

          Spring is trying here, but winter just won't quite let go. Last Friday in the 70's and the last couple days in the high 40's with a brisk north wind. Possibility for mixed winter weather tonight and back into the 70's later this week.

          Unfortunately, the 70 degree days I work and the cooler and rainier days I have off. I hope Mother Nature gets off my schedule soon.

            Spring?...Who needs to wait for that?! As long as the roads (and my drive way) are clear of snow and ice it's a good day to ride.

            We have been lucky this year record amounts of snow in the mountains with mostly rain in the valleys. We seem to get more bad weather in the spring than in the winter.

            Hope that snow melts quick for ya. (Not too fast you don't need flooding)

                    Spring is not quite here yet.

                      Dare I say it? Sunshine, clear skies, birds singing and 75.

                      I am preparing to put my Winter wardrobe away. That means putting my long sleeve shirts in back of the closet and moving my short sleeve shirts to the front.

                        It's definitely "falling" around here (spring that is) in the form form of spring showers. It appears that since march came in like a lamb here, it's working up to going out like a lion. It's really messing up my year round riding average though.

The bridge at the end of Broad st was under water on Friday, but I think we are in the clear with temps in the 50's and 60's on the way. It will be 90 and hot in no time.
