April Fools



You were a fool if you weren’t biking here today. A stubborn bank of clouds released its icy grip on the weekend around midday and the May sun came bursting forth, in April. Early spring continues. Riding around Nokomis Lake the late afternoon sun felt powered by summer’s heat, yet the wind had the waft and weft still of winter. Its breathy wwhoouuuszz, wwhooouuusz sound weaving through the branches aloft, branches still bare but for the first peeks of leaf sprouting from their bud caps.

Day one of 30 days of biking today. About 7 miles. Hoping to work up to a 30-mile ride on day 30.

Happy Trails
