Spring, as in other parts of the U.S. has been slower to show it's warmth and floral color than in years passed. We are still encountering snow in Vermont, though not along what I deem the banana belt of Lake Champlain, where I live. Rivers are high and there's 83" of snow on top of our Green Mountains, reminding me of Northwestern snow pack! However, salt-free roads abound and the
street-sweeper has cleared most of our bike paths and lanes, so I retired the Trek winter bike and brought out my beloved Peugeot St. Laurent.
During the winter, I missed the ability to stow belongings in a basket so come late fall I plan to rectify that problem on my Trek. Until then, happy Spring riding aboard whatever bike you ride!
*Holy moly, this is my 1001 blog-post since 2010!
Congratulations on your 1001 post! :)
ReplyDeleteEighty-three inches of snow!! Wow, that is a lot, but it's nice to see you've been able to retire-for-the-season your winter bike and get the Peugeot back out on the road. I hope you're enjoying the spring season.
We had record high temperatures in Hoquiam, Washington, so things differ from spot to spot.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on 1000+ posts.
