April is finally here and it’s looking like spring. Snow is mostly gone from my yard and crocuses are in bloom. Migrating birds and buzzards are showing up again in the neighborhood. Winter ski stuff has been washed and ready to put away. Skis are waiting to be storage waxed. Others may still be out there skiing, but I’m ready to move on to spring cycling.

One bike is out of the basement and has already made its first ride around the block. This week, I waited for a decent day to take her out again. A “decent” day for me is one that’s not too cold — 40s and below are not pleasant riding conditions. I have gear for cold-weather riding, but I don’t have the desire. I’m not a fan of rainy day riding either unless I have no choice. Super windy days are not fun either and a little scary. With a wide-open schedule this time of year, I can be choosy about when and where I ride.
