Ride Description: Bluebells Are Blooming Ride. We took off about 8:30am and dropped off a couple of pieces of mail (including Adam's wedding RSVP)in the box by Krogers. Then on to the trail where we spotted our first rabbit of the season and tons of robins and flickers. Gorgeous blooming dogwoods, crabapple, cherry, and redbuds all along the way. I saw a garter snake on Heron's Pond loop and a couple of redtailed hawks also. We encountered 4 recumbent trikes riding together going under Brice Rd. and caught up to an older gentleman riding a faired BikeE. He told us he had 68,000 miles on it! We rode over to Old Bag O' Nails for lunch then back through the neighborhoods for a few extra rounding miles.
