'Tis the season!

Well, the snow is melting and almost gone and the windy, pollen-filled air is a reminder that it's April and time to put away the skis and get out the road bike, running shoes and swim goggles. It's time to take stock in the body fat and think about shaving those legs too. Here are some pics that are pretty indicative of every April's reality and the challenge that lay ahead. Enjoy =)

Hmm, gonna have to work on that...

Those are some gross white hairy legs

I always hate that little bit of powder that gets
spilled on the counter top while putting it in the water bottle

Riding in April is always tough with the wind, the changes from cold to warm and then cold...all in about 5 minutes. But, sometimes the weather is interesting and makes for some pretty pictures

Some quickly disappearing last vestiges of winter around town. These stayed until May last year. I don't think they'll last that long this year.

Still some lingering snow on the hillside in Frijoles Canyon. You may not be able to see it through the pollen haze that is so plentiful this time of year.

sorry I didn't rotate this. Where's my ice axe?

Deer always seem to be out and about more than usual in April



Ending rides in April is always kinda cool
