...and just like that.

Boom, it's bike season. We Minnesotans don't hesitate when warm weather comes. We want to enjoy it and enjoy it now. Definitely have noticed this at the shop...love it! Repairs have filled the hooks, built bikes are disappearing, and the group rides are starting! The forecast for Friday is currently 74 degrees! In March! That's almost 80, crazy! Being Minnesota we still could get snow, a lot of snow, so being cautious in my celebrating.

It's official, I bowed out of the Ragnorok 105. The race date, April 14th, is just too close to Jen's possible due date. Somewhat bummed as I've never done this race before and have heard nothing but good comments. Oh well, always next year. Still shooting for the Almanzo in May and am leaning towards the Royal 162.

Also at the shop this year we have noticed a pretty descent uptick in MTB interest. This has me pretty jacked to hit the trails. With the lack of snow, crazy cold days, and current warm temps the trails could be ready in record time this year! That'll make up for last years mid summer start!
I'm just all kinds of bike excited, bring it!

Later.
