Happy Opening Day

Just like opening day for the Tigers and Lions, the opening day of the Molson Bike Tour (nice product placement in the picture, eh?) is like a rebirth. The trails are fresh, the bikes have come out of the shop with new chains, brakes, spokes, and the body...well, the body is going to need a little time to get adjusted. We were all crying in our own way tonight but it was great to be out there. The parking lot was full at Island Lake as everyone was embracing the 70/80 degree temperatures. My utopia was short lived as my freshly tuned bike managed to bounce the back tire over a stump and break two spokes. I'm on a first name basis with the bike shop, which is too bad.
Happy riding season.
