The 2nd Mile group rides are back! Saturday marked the first ride of the year, except an afternoon one last week, because it was still so cold. It was a bit chilly this week, too. The B group was just me, Stuart, and Mike C, but Mike didn’t want to do the whole thing (he’s 81, I think, and he’s slowing down a bit) so he parted ways with us and headed back after 10 miles or so. Stuart and I did the circuit through Sidney and got back with ~33 miles.

Next up for Saturday was the Mother’s Day ritual: flower shopping. We went over to Sherman & Lin’s, or whatever it’s called now, and loaded up the car with flowers and a couple arbor vitae trees. Now the work begins: the front garden area needs to be weeded and turned over, and all the flowers need to be planted. 

No FCC softball game this week due to rain. Not rain on game day, rain before game day. The field was too mushy to play on.
