So much of our riding is for commuting or errands that it seemed odd to be out for just a little ride in the evening on April 3. Without the "30 Days of Biking" challenge, we might not have set out for a ride under grey skies on a day when the snowbanks haven't completely melted away. I rode the Anura trike with the 20" wheels and the studded tires, and Dale rode one of the other Anuras. Like so many bike rides, this one had a little surprise: the mergansers had found a small open patch of water on Lake Harriet and were doing their spring dances. I've seen hawks on most of my recent rides, and this morning, I enjoyed watching an albino squirrel in a nearby park. Seeing a white squirrel on a bike ride always feels lucky to me -- as if it might bring favorable weather for riding this month.
