We just rode a loop over a local hill (local as in the only one within 25 miles) but drove closer since we put in a long ride yesterday. I'm must be catching some kind of insanity because I willingly spent much of the 32 miles in a drizzle.

But we saw woodpeckers, robins, peacocks, deer, blooming almonds and meadowlarks singing their fool heads off. Spring is around the corner a bit fast this year.

No snacks in the car so we just HAD to stop at the local market for apple strudel.
