Spring is a fleeting mistress here in Maine. Thursday I was optimistic with my Spring Classics post. Yesterday I woke to this for my commute...

Guess I'll keep the studs on for a bit longer, and the fenders...

Especially when the roads are like this, gated and not plowed. At least there's no traffic to worry about...

At least you get snow. Here in DC, we just get cold. All of the suck, none of the fun.

I had some great rides last weekend. This weekend it is a rain/snow mix and frickin cold. This time last year I was living and riding in Hawaii.

that is for sure. Snowing in Vancouver yesterday. Sunny today, but cold. Snow all over the mountains, I guess I shouldn't put away my skis just yet.

Yeesh, that's harsh.

Where are you, anyway? Pics look almost like Mt Desert Island....

Looks great to me!

How do you like the discs in the snow and slop?

I love the discs. I don't think twice about my brakes in conditions like these which is the highest compliment I can give. Highly recommended for wet and or snowy commuters...

Nice pics. I haven't been to the Bar Harbor area for about 10 years. It's one of my favorite vacation spots, along with New Harbor and Monhegan Island.

This is the worst winter by far. I just want it to end.

At least you get snow. Where I'm at, we get slush and freezing rain=crap.

It cant be much longer....its gotta be around the corner.

I knew there was a reason I don't live in Maine.

It does make for some gorgeous pictures though. I love the shot of your bike in front of the water. Awesome.

Great shots, but I'm glad it's you and not me. The heaviest snow we got in NC this winter was about 1/4-inch. That almost shut the city down.
