What I promised you

In my weather rant I promised a cheery post next so here it is.

A week or so ago Kevin and I went for a bike ride. It was a beautiful evening, dusk approaching. See the picture below for proof. Kevin asked if I wanted to go to a friend's ice cream parlour. I declined. Can you figure out why? Click on picture to enlarge if you need help.

First Bike Ride of the Season

It is 6 degrees and the snow is melting slowly so this morning Kevin and I went for a bike ride.  He figures we did about 18 km.  I don't know how long it took because I didn't look at my watch.  Actually I didn't even wear a watch.  I rode one of his bikes because mine is still in the loft and it felt pretty good.  My left knee was a bit sore riding but is fine now.  Even though I wore my bike shorts (with track pants over top) I know my butt will be sore for days.  Usually when I ride (and when I paddle) my hands start to tingle and I have to stop and stretch and flex several times.  For the first time in years I had no tingling!  Whether that is because his handlebars are in a different location or angle, or because I have been rebounding all winter and keeping up with regular massages and chiropractic appointments I don't know.  I don't actually care - as long as it lasts!

Connor has been out several times already.  He has been riding his new heavy-duty unicycle in the snow for weeks.  He gets some strange looks and comments.
