Now that the Forum has changed to some kind of green, as well as my lawn from under the snow, the seasonal lifestyle must change as well.

I'm still skiing and hopefully in early May...

However so far since Easter weekend, avoiding the rain I've got three 15+ mile days of riding my mountain bicycle, mostly on dirt roads and two 12+ mile day on my road bicycle. It's still a bit too early for the Goldwing though...

What seasonal recreation changes are you making?

I'm still pretending like its peak ski season! ;)

The change back to summer forum colors isn't helping though! :angry:

I'm hoping to get some mtn biking in this year and some more hiking...

I HATE this color...I think it's the shade...It's hard on my eyes! I am not against the seasonal change, just this shade.

Ah yes, the seasonal color scheme debate! :lol:

Historically, I've changed the color scheme to the summer colors when the daytime high at my house reaches 70*F. Today we hit 74*F so it's time to start thinking about summer. There's still some skiing to be had, but I'm hoping activity will remain high here as we shift some of our attention to warmer weather activities, including hiking. Happy Spring!

Glad you put it up with a smile. I understand the color change comes with the season change and a warning was given it was coming a couple days ago. The colors are hard on the eye IMO. I would not have commented unless a thread was created. I gave my opinion in Pm form to TB.

TB is right.. in my mind it will not end either. 8 days still planned with lift service skiing. A few days of Am Skiing pm hiking while the bugs are not out. I plan on seeing it snow in Maine tomorrow night and to hay with the 70 degree temps. :beer:

I like the color .... it's a nice change. I'll still be skiing, of course. I just remember the fact that I live in the Northeast because I love the season change. (It's a constant debate between me and my parents, sister, brother in law and nephew who moved to Florida a few years back.)

This just means I have more yardwork to do now. Once bowling season is over, I'm off to the mountains! I don't find the colors that bad, but the blue is a little easier on the eyes.

I haven't put the boots and skis away yet, nay, I even have my new BC touring skis on their way (I love spring clearance sales: Karhu Pyxis with Voile 3-pin cable bindings, mounted and delivered for under $300). But today I was out without socks or sleeves and that means that it's time to lube the bike chain and start riding this weekend.

I think I'm going to put some skinnier tires (Specialized Nexus) on the bike (2002 Gary Fisher Presidio), too.

I'm already daydreaming about my 3 big Maine backpacking trips, and wishing I could spend my two weeks on the Long Trail this summer instead of next.

Please, Change these awful colors! They are very hard to look at! Hard on the eyes! Keep the greens if you'd like, just NOT this green. in addition to being hard to look at, in my opinion, it's a nauseating color. PLEASE, Greg, do me a favor and change the color.

The header colors are fine, just these god-awful colors under posts. They are very hard on the eyes!
