April Showers....

April showers.....ahh yes after a great start to spring with sunshine, warm temps and some good pre-summer biking, the cold April showers have arrived. This bit of wet weather should green things up nicely just in time for May to roll in.
The ski season was exceptional (considering where we live) this year, exceptionally longer than normal and exceptionally consistant snow all winter. Toward the end of March though, you could here the whisperings or dull hollar of IS WINTER EVER GOING TO END???
Most ski hills across the country posted longer than average ski seasons and above average snowfall, so most people even the most avid skiers were ready for spring and summer to roll around. I was fortunate enough to end my ski season at Red Mountain in beautiful British Columbia. My last day on snow this winter was an unreal sunny 20 degree day!
My first bike rides were also in BC this year, 2 great road rides and a mountain bike ride down a trail dubbed "Spring Cleaning" - good times!
Now home, I'm looking forward to a great summer here in NB with biking, hiking, camping and all things outdoors.
