Spring is here...YAY !!!

23 and sunny today.
Finally.

I haven't been blogging because I am ranted out, and haven't done any noteworth rides because the weather has sucked, for the most part.
Would you want to bother reading about a ride to Richmond, or Carleton Place?

1st some news...I got my oil leak fixed with the help of some gasket glue from Brent.

The offending gasket

Inside the primary

Gasket seal from Brent

And the whole operation went off with no ecological disasters of any kind.
There will be no fodder for family gatherings...
And I am not leaving a puddle of oil everywhere I park.


I went for a ride Saturday night with my wife, and we went down to Remic's rapids, where the stone sculptures are.
As you can see below, there is no rock exposed to build sculptures on...the Ottawa river is super high right now.

Today I got up early and headed to Brent's in Lanark, for breakfast and then riding.
We didn't do anything huge, but stopped at Silver Lake, of course.

From there we went up to the Snow road.
This road is an original colonisation road that has been there since the mid 1800's.
It connects with what is now highway 7 and runs to Elphin and around.

We stopped by the Mississippi River to stretch.

Parted ways with Brent in Watson's Corners...he headed home from there.

I came home via the Calabogie run, and then to Burnstown and Arnprior.

Not a huge run, but we were just enjoying the day.
Everywhere we stopped, people were talking to us, and just being friendly.

There were a ton of bikes out with this great weather...by the time I got home I was biker waved-out...

I have a 3 day weekend next weekend, and hope to get some longer rides in.
The week is looking kind of crappy...starts with rain tomorrow.

But the important thing is that...SPRING HAS SPRUNG !!!
