Same thing up here. Our half thawed trails are gonna get raped.
And.... good morning!
Yo!
Dumping rain here, though with any luck the sun will dry things out in time for a Sunday ride on the hardtail as the Yeti is down. Lay that carbon faster Light Bicycle!
Maybe I'll go fishing tomorrow instead. Got a new baitcaster that needs to be spooled and broken in.

coffeeeee 1 morning meeting down, other morning meeting cancelled. money printer goes brrr
We have emergency boxes at work for hurricanes and such. I suggested we add a couple body bags to each one and everyone looks at me like I'm crazy. Fine then, but I'm not gonna be the one rolling those dead assholes up in painter's tarps.
'Morning. 'Friday. I did 75 minutes on the trainer first thing this morning. It's raining like a mofo. I've lost five pounds this week due to life stress, mainly caused by the new job prospect. Some people eat when they are stressed, but for me it is the opposite.
My weight will vary five pounds over a couple of days for no apparent reason at all.
Facemask Day - outfit picked out already, laying on the Bed, socks over the side and shoesies on the floor. Neighbors are building out-of-state, a going away GC at the oldest restaurant in this area later for them will be on today's agenda.
Sunny & clear, 62° starting a high of 81°

I'd love some rain over here.
Also, kicking around the idea of a new bike for no good reason whatsoever.

Mid 70s today. I have the butt crack of dawn shift. Started at 0420 have a break at 0600 to get something to eat
Our trails are pretty great right now.
Should pack up that van and come visit...oh wait.....
Rain, again. 
After a brutal April (only 5 days reaching 60F vs 14 days last year), the suck goes on. Moar rain forecast for Sunday now. 
Did a grocery run to buy freshies that Fresh don't have in stock. Most people are now way more attractive with the masks on. Alas, I went too early for a gin run, gotta fix that this weekend. Now back to the slavery ship while the rest of the world celebrates labor with no labor.

congrats, señor !
You sir are a cruel man.
For real. This spring has sucked. It has snowed, rained and generally has been colder and miserable.Rain, again.
The worst part has been the long term forecasts. Oh look a sunny and slightly warm day is in the future! Only to have that evaporate the day before with a new weather report showing drizzling rain and clouds. Ugh.
There are a few spots you could park the van where only the turkeys and skunks would find you...
Getting here without any shifty eyes would be the tricky part.
I rode last Sunday. We got light drizzle about 15 minutes before starting down a long descent. Perfecto!
hey Babs, have you settled on an new bike yet? what are you looking at?
Funny thing is we see lots of Ontario plates around here.There are a few spots you could park the van where only the turkeys and skunks would find you...

What's on the shortlist, or is there even a list yet?
I am currently not looking at anything. My bike purchase was put on hold once covid hit and everything went on lockdown. I probably won't buy one until next year now.
I'm sorry...
You think they are visitors?
As summer approaches we usually have droves of Quebec plated motorbikes rolling through going up north. I haven't seen a Quebec plate in a long time...
I don't know. Lots of Ontarians have summer homes here. They might have elected to stay here during this time instead of being in a large city?
I have to demo a bunch, which is tough right now.
GG
Transition
my old RFX

27.5? 29? 32?!?
Java? C++ ?????????????????

GG has gone carbon with some semi revolutionary processes in the bike world. Metal

Would love to demo new Scout and Sentinel back to back

there is a years-long thread in the DH forum from almost day 1 of their company, and Matt (co-owner) is fairly active on the monkey. They make really, really, really nice bikes.
So would I.
my states doing fine, i don't live in the south.
also, really? one of the founders of GG posts regularly in the DH forum
The Norco's look pretty sweet these days too... https://www.norco.com/bikes/2020/mountain/all-mountain/sight/sight-c2/
Though on r eview their prices have seemed to creep up. $7000 canadian and they still swap in SLX brakes.....not even XT?
i forgot about the dh forum....
