Hooray for Global Warming! -- or at least for a warm front

First rideable day of 2013 by my basic criteria that 1) there's minimal salt on the roads, 2) the temps are above 5C/40F so that there are no icy patches hiding in the shadows in the forests. We can hardly say 'Riding Season Has Begun' but we can go have some fun in the hills. Tons of gravel on the roads -- use caution!
