A surprisingly sunny and warm morning prompted one of the earliest rides in several seasons. Temperatures in the morning were topping 60 degrees and conditions were partly cloudy. The forecast called for rain before lunch.

The plan was to ‘sit and spin’, with some photography and birdwatching on the way. Here are the details of the April Fool’s Rain Ride.
