Yes people, it's that time of the year again, will we have a early spring, and more importantly a start to the riding season!

Let's see what the fur ball tells us.
Nothing scientific, just for fun, annnnnnddd.. it's not political!

So far this is looking promising

Groundhog Day 2026: Did Willie see his shadow?

Wiarton Willie and Fred la Marmotte were all set to emerge from their homes Monday, and according to legend, there will be six more weeks of winter if they see their shadows, and an early spring if they don’t.

Last year I was able to get out around Mar 10, 2025, so about a month from now.

Around here a groundhog would need a ladder to get his head above the snow, so what's the call?

During peak sow a rabbit cut across the back yard but all I could see was its head popping through the snow very foot or so, like a porpoise.

FWIW I tried snowshoeing for the first time yesterday. Not a lot of fun.

I've only done snowshoeing 1 time, it was fun for me. Even when I didn't have the best shoes on.
You didn't have poles?
 
Weather forecast, Fred Marmotte, WiartonWillie , and ShubenacadieSam have predicted an early spring!
Only Punxsutawney Phil disagreed.
Time to dust off the bike?
😄

Like the other fellow said - trade it in.

That's what I did in November with my KTM 1090R. GP had a new 2024 GasGas 700 so I inquired as to trade-in value on my 1090. The number they gave me was only about $500 less than they were listed for on Facebook and Kijiji for in Quebec so I jumped at it.

I didn't think the market for a 1090 would be getting any stronger in the spring, and the GasGas was already discounted about $3500 so I made the deal.

I only got 12km on the new bike before winter came.
