Love the dog carrier! Cute.

Dogs really are like kids. My hubby and I have both had children from previous marriages and because we are so isolated, up here, we don't get visits very often.

Speaking of dogs, Star, our Border Collie, is in doggie heaven with all this snow melting. It's allowed her to find an unending supply of sticks for me to throw while working on the trail this week. I have to stop my work, frequently, to throw all her new found sticks, but i don't mind a bit. She's my constant companion on trails, whether riding or working on the trails. Wish I could take her on my road riding, but just won't risk it, even with our very light traffic.

"Summer-ized" my two, winter-only fat bikes, yesterday (clean, inspect, lube as needed) and then put them in summer storage. Now turn my attention to my two other Norco fat bikes that I ride mostly in the summer. They'll get the same treatment, but will get ridden, immediately. All the other bikes are already tuned and ready to go. Come on, summer!
