Flies are out and biting at home (25 miles from here) so I imagine they would do the same here if one stopped and gave them the opportunity. |

 | Comments: |
Clouds eventually lifted making for a nice day. Up Maple Ridge, across LT north to the Chin and down Sunset Ridge makes for a very pleasant loop. Few challenging spots on the Maple Ridge; a bypass is there for the worst spot. Surprised the only snow to be seen was on the ski trails. |
