Daylight savings time is traditionally the date when we bring out the mountain bikes. It's rather early this year and there is still snow on the tracks and trails. The roads are clear for now, but it could dump again at any time - March is known as the month of large snowfalls around here...
So, for the next six weeks we'll be wheeling in the valleys while still sliding on the slopes.
It's the season of wet trails and corn snow, of pedaling and puffing up steep grades and sitting back in the sun and drinking beer on the resort patio.
It's a mix of two entirely different sports that wind up complimenting each other in the end.
It's time to welcome Spring!
Bring it on!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to March. It's 15 today, but will be snowing on Friday ... go figure.
ReplyDeleteHa Ha - went skiing yesterday.
ReplyDelete...it was like riding over boiler plate - frozen solid.
So we drank wine at the Elkhorn Cabin instead.

ReplyDeleteVal - even I, the eternal snow-lover, look forward to spring...
March around here is the month of unpredictability. Today it is 80. Sunday will be 50's. I am very ready for winter to be over. It hasn't been a very good one.
ReplyDeleteHave fun biking/skiing!!

Or you could always put your feet up for a while ...
ReplyDeleteYou make me feel like such a slug!
Must go for a walk must go for a walk must go for a walk ...
Zoe - I hope your spring/summer are better for you.
ReplyDeleteMargie - LOL Now I feel like a manic bumble bee...
"Must go for walk..."said with Captain Kirk over tones...
Feet up - only as long as they're up while I'm on the couch...
