Good on ya man! I'm not even in country right now, but growing up and getting my first bike in Norther Ontario, I understand the pain of a short season, and riding in the cold.
When I put my bike away last full season, it was about 5C, and the bike was doing great in the cold air, the operator was suffering a little!

Never did have a bike while i was living in Alberta, but being in the Rockies sure made me wish i had. Cheers to the start of the riding season.

Congrats on gettin out again.
I'm sure it felt great.
I've been out a few times already, but not as much as I'd have liked to.
