The fruit trees and flowers are starting to bloom, the sun is out and the temperature has gone over 70°F for the first time this year; time for a mountain bike ride! We’ve been busy with spring cleaning and computer work, but after the long, rainy Pacific Northwest winter, when the sun is out and it warms up, it’s time to find the shorts and head outside.
We headed up towards Mt. Hood, but it’s a long way off and it’s all uphill. This time of year we are out of shape and a bit overweight so it’s going to take some time before we can ride all the way up to the highest mountains. Slowly but surely you work to get in shape so you can make those long trips on long midsummer days. At this point, we are stoked to be out of the house and out in the mountains.
