The major melt-off on Saturday really took away a lot of our snow. Bright sunny skies and temps in the 30’s on Sunday had me thinking of spring and riding my bike. A quick check of the rocks at the zoo and on the shoreline revealed that we could ride – with a little shoveling 🙂 Mark, Terri and I got out for a really nice session.
The first 15 minutes were comical as we all were rusty and could not execute even the simplest of moves. But it all came back after a bit and started to feel good. Both Mark and Terri upped their ability level from last fall!
I have been relishing in all the snow we’ve had, and hope for a lot more before the winter is over, but it felt really good to get out and challenge myself on a bike!
Mark shovels the run-up to one of our favorite rocks
Mark gets his groove back
Bright sun and dry rocks = fun!
We made some snow ramps, but they made it harder to ride the rocks - the snow was too soft
Tenacious Terri gets dialed on the rock!
Pedaling up - it was more challenging than expected
Mark gets up on top!
Coming back down - maybe we didn't shovel enough snow 🙂
The snow really added to the challenge of riding the rocks by west end beach
