You're ahead of us on the trees leafing out. Ours are still in the bud stage, but, of course were at a higher latitude. Lovely scene, though.

Been riding a variety of my bikes on the trail, same as always. I find the differences between the bikes as to how they ride and handle to be interesting. Adds a bit of interest to riding the same trails all the time. Yesterday, I was on one of the Norco fat bikes after riding my 29 plus bikes with their 3" tires all week. Those big 4.8" tires on the fat bike make a huge difference in riding comfort on the trail. They soak up so much of that trail chatter and they really smooth out the big bumps. I especially appreciate that when riding over the big rocks. Those big fat tires aren't quite a substitute for suspension, but they're close enough for my riding and make riding a rigid bike (my preference) all the more doable.
