I haven’t done a lot of riding in the last week or so. I wasn’t feeling well during much of last week, and we’ve had quite a bit of rain. I guess you could say I’ve been in a bit of a rut.

Yesterday, I managed to get out for a relatively brief, but very beautiful ride. I did a variation of the Bunker Hill-Schooley ride that’s becoming a bit of a regular loop. The new route only added 4 miles of riding, but resulted in over 350 feet of additional climbing. I’m still a little sore, but it’s a good feeling.

It was a cool, in the 50s. I wore shorts and a short-sleeved jersey, and while I was a bit chilly at times, overall the cool air felt very nice. Everything is getting so green and lush. I love spring.

I saw many rabbits, some groundhogs, and even some porcupine roadkill. An interesting ride in terms of wildlife.
