Just a short ride, first ride of spring. Nothing crazy. Good times.

And my $200 Walmart bike enters its second year of service flawlessly -- literally just pulled it out of storage and hopped right onto it, no issues to fix. (Tires were a bit low, but that's kind of a good thing for off-road biking.)

Those tires will have tubes, so fill them up before you get a snake bite (pinch flat).

I'm jealous! I had a series of surgeries over the past couple months, and I can't wear a helmet right now. It's keeping me off my dirtbike and off my bike until mid April, so this warm spell is killing me

Don't worry, they're not that low ... I think. Anyway, I didn't have any issues so far. But yeah, I'd probably fill them up before going on a longer, more intense ride.

Yeah, that sucks. Plenty more heat coming after April, though, I'm sure.
