First Ride of the Season

March is a silly month in Utah. One second it's warm, beautiful blue skies, the birds are chirping... and then all of a sudden it will start snowing. Last Friday, it was a fairly clear day and Chad convinced me that we had to go riding. I was skeptical, it's still pretty cold and it had snowed earlier in the week, but he was very convincing. We loaded the bikes up onto the roof and headed out.

Look how happy he is:

We didn't go very far, just to Indian Hill at the mouth of the canyon, but it didn't matter. It felt great to get back out there. My new bike felt great, I felt great, it was just all great... until we got to the top of the first hill and ran into a large mud patch. A short-lived ride, true, but from now on it will only get better as we move into Spring!
