NEW BIKE

Went to the Trek store today...and look what was there....

Oh my!!

 So pretty.  So shiny.
My 5 min stop in turned out to be muuuuuch longer.  Just couldn't leave...had to keep looking...I am in love...

Yes yes yes!!

C'mon spring....

Canadian winter - this time it's for real.

So might as well embrace it...and get out there for some fresh air (it's extra fresh right now too)!
Just like Moms everywhere kicking kids outside - it will make you feel better - really it will - even if all it does is make that coffee, hot bath, fire, stew, etc even more awesome.

And a great way to get hot on a crazy cold day....go snowshoeing!  And since spring is coming soon (I hope) snowshoeing is great cross training for all the cycling that will be happening really soon (I hope) & WAY easier to figure out than XC skiing.  I know because I've tried XC skiing... and I seriously need help...but that will be another story.

Meanwhile - I was very lucky to sneak in a short trek in the woods this morning and somehow managed to be out during the only sunny part of the day!

Goggles totally needed for the field crossing to get to the forest.

In the woods...not feeling the -1000 coldness out of the wind & making my own trail in deep snow! Hard work - stopped to switch to thinner mittens!

 Had to cross this skinny bridge VERY carefully.  It's the width of one snowshoe & the crosses over a stream flowing 10 feet below.  Still thick with ice from the famous ice storm so kind of rounded on top so not feeling stable even with snowshoes....glad I made it across but was freaking out a bit!!
