IT HAS BEGUN!

calgary finally has received a well deserved visit from the "snow-eaters" - aka chinook winds - and all is right and fine in sunny cowtown again. the snow is rapidly melting and riding bikes is actually fun again - instead of being an exercise in just staying upright! the warm weather brought out a dozen or so polo keeners and the play was great. i rode my new IRO (see post below) for the first time and with the exception of some sketchiness (aka cog/lockring came loose!) coming down 17th ave - the bike felt great and i love it!
