... From My Front Door

[Captain Awesome]

@Captain Awesome normally I would appreciate your reactions but nothing to like there that tree is almost gone. I'm so over it I want to ride in shorts.

12 years ago this August we made the conscious decision of "no more snow!" and moved to warmer climates

No way to avoid the snow in Canada

This is the first sign of spring tim Hortons roll up the rim every March.

Outside my front door what's your snowbank look like today

My front door looks like an archeological dig or maybe an avalanche rescue

I had to dig down to find the bottom steps!

Took a trip down the highway into Quebec, to where the hills turn into mountains.

Did a little sliding...did a LOT of climbing.
Drop in!!

@ingola you're going to like this, check out what they used to make the light fixtures!

Old toboggan boards, they looked pretty cool

Hope the kids you were yelling at weren't chasing you

Haha Ingola has the inside scoop, apparently Matti discovered a phrase, for which there is no version in French: "you may go ahead of me..."
They definitely don't like taking their place at the back of a line, and my manners lessons come at high volume, sometimes with colorful language

First ride of the year was a frozen buns sprint to the corner store

Legs are not pleased at being woken from their slumber but the Duck was eager for more

Lol you need to get those legs in shape or I'll be peddling backwards to keep up. Buns have been frozen solid and legs have been pushing through the snow.

 

[MattiThundrrr]

you need to get those legs in shape

You know how far I am from Short Line. There and back was a workout. Really missing that Worksman trike indoor leg trainer

Don't worry I won't tell them its two blocks. Next year get a winter bike. Even if you don't want to bike in the gross there's lots of dry days on the road.

Thanks
It's actually 3 blocks. In both directions

Some sunny above freezing days have got me and the wife out on bikes for the first time this year.

We have also taken long walks (3+miles so far) on more blustery days when the roads were clear of snow. I dislike the walks as makes my knees ache, but it really helped to build back my leg muscles and made my first 7mi bike rides much easier.

Visiting with an old friend

Did I tell you this place is big? Zoom in and you can see a stacked pallet at the center of the drive aisle, that's about a third of the way through the building.
