Went out on only my second ride this year, after working through some ailments over the winter. Really felt good to be back out on the bike and also not to have the body revolt afterwards. Things are getting resolved but I will take it slow and easy for the first few rides. Over the late winter while I wasn't riding I stripped the bike down to the frame and gave everything a good overhaul so I'm starting out on a happy bike. I still have to finish up the rear wheel build on my new set of wheels I'm building so I haven't test ridden them yet.

What a gorgeous day, and so nice to feel warmth again. I still had snow and ice in the yard about two weeks ago. Still some snow patches this morning, but they just about disappeared after today. After the ride I did yard work - raked the yard and applied milky spore. Hand turned a portion of the garden over. Peas are going in tomorrow. Tomatoes are under the lights with their 4th set of leaves. Today was truly a spring day up here.
