Well Saturday came and went, it never was really warm enough to ride today. Friday evening, I saw my first Goldfinch of the spring (a male) perched on a Pussy-Willow bush.. he was nibbling at the flowers. So, I guess that we can expect finches on the trail any time now.
Today was a good day to sit inside and work on the website - I have new and improved pages. I want to get things usable, before I start the first campaign to draw notice to this site. I want it easy for people to use and helpful.
Last Sunday's ride was nice, I invited a group, but nobody showed up. It was windy coming from the East. I started from Madison Lake and rode to Elysian. It was a beautiful day! About midway, I got drowsy, so I pulled over at a rest area, laid down and took a tremendous 45 minute nap. I got up and rode the rest of the way to Elysian, had some ice cream at Alley Scoops and rode back with the wind.
When I got back from my ride, I noticed that my front wheel bearings were loose. Sunday night I took a look and it looks like I didn't tighten them enough last time I worked on it. I carefully re-tightened the wheel and I put it back on this afternoon.
It's going to be 47 degrees tomorrow afternoon, but I hope to get out and see if the Wildflowers are up yet, it's gotta be getting close. If I do, I'll post a report.
Browsing through "Short Bike Rides Minnesota" hoping to find some nice "non-DNR" trails this year. I am also catching up on some repair manuals... after the wheel bearing incident, a refresher wouldn't be a bad idea.
