In 2016 it seemed like we had a very early #spring with some trees already showing green by April 9th.

Old bridge, old times - Edmonton on April 2nd, 2016
#CoSoPhotography #yeg

Yesterday I did a celebratory 65K ride through Edmonton's river valley. This bridge near Fort Edmonton marked the most southerly point in my journey at about the 3/4 of the distance.

Certain times of year evoke strong memories. For me, the first week of May always does it.
Forty years ago, after having just finished University, I set off with 3 buddies on a 4- week cycling tour (primary destination: the Loire Valley in France).
It was the first time I'd ever even flown. We flew from #YEG to Gatwick, then loaded up our bikes and set off cycling through the lush green landscape of southeast England towards Dover where we would take a hovercraft to Calais, France.
Ah memories!

#Introduction thread:
I was born in Edmonton, Canada (#YEG) and have lived my whole life here (which is quite rare).
