Back on the bike…

There are still patches of snow where the warm finger of the sun’s rays have not been able to reach.  Mounds of ugly snow are pushed to the ends of parking lots,  their melt water streaming to find a drain.  The temperature has risen up to the 40’s.  It’s time to get the bike out.
