Well I got to ride today for the first time. We've had temps from 20C to 28C for 10 days straight. The snow just disappeared. Picked up the bike, installed a new battery under warranty....(mine died after just 2 summers) and she fired right up. Only problem was a burnt taillight. Put 50km on her and all is well......YIPPEE.
This is a first for us...getting to ride in March.
Now if the road cleaning crews could start (side roads are slippery with sand) and the snow just stop for the rest of the summer.....
