Awesome Spring Riding

Saturday was an awesome day for ride, with temperatures of 15, so we went out to hit the roads. We left downtown and headed over the Chelsea for a nice loop in the awesome weather. The roads were as good as Quebec roads are after the winter thaw. I biked pretty much the entire ride in short sleeves and a vest. Stopped to take a quick look at the trail at the top of Notch and looks like it's not ready for biking yet, but I'm sure it will be for May 15th.
On the way home we got a little confident that the snow was off the paved bike trails so we crossed at the island park bridge and headed down the bike path back to downtown. There were a couple to 10m patches of snow and ice that where able to be biked across since we were on mountain bikes. However, once we got behind the Parliament buildings it was a different story.

Anyways, after a little walking and a little extra ridding added to our plans (since none of the locks were closed for us to cross) we made it back home with smiles on our face from a beautiful day in the sun.
