It appears spring has finally arrived in Québec, after a bout of
unseasonably cold weather. My walks are more pleasant now, with the
trees budding and things coming to life in general.

My wife and I went for a first bike ride of the season last week,
not long - about 15km on the local bike paths. She is slowly
recovering her fitness after her concussion last fall kept her off
of her bike for eight months, and it was good to see her get active
again. Apart from the obvious physical degradation, mentally it's
hard to go from biking almost every day to nothing. But hopefully
we've turned a corner in her recovery.
