Ever notice how we always seem to get a streak of sunny and mild days in February?

Well, January is done and right on cue, the forecast is for a week of balmy weather. Sure, March and April will rain like cats and dogs, but let's enjoy this respite from winter's lash.

Bulbs have begun sending their green shoots skyward and the fragrance of blooming viburnums greeted me on last night's ride home. 

If you consider yourself a fair weather cyclist, why not pick a couple of days to bike commute while the weather is good? You'll get a mini-shot of vitamin D and the spring-like weather will be good for your spirits.

If you're sticking to transit, why not hop off the bus a few stops early and enjoy the scenery while getting a bit of extra exercise?

Let us know if you need help with a transit or bike commute route plan.
