Early March Hares?

Early March Hares? 🐇

I thought I was seeing early March Hares on my moon-viewing ride this morning. Never mind that the calendar says it’s still February.

The first rabbit I spotted was quite close to the place where the bicycle access ramp reaches the top of the levee. And it pulled a “mad” one. The rabbit was on my right; but instead of running down the side of the levee away from me, it darted across the path — right in front of me! Apparently its hole was in that direction. Good thing I wasn’t going fast. Bunny #2 was about a mile farther on; and I’m glad to say it didn’t rush out in front of me.

My legs feel a bit tired from yesterday’s ride; so when I went to the salvage store a little later this morning, I didn’t hurry. If you’ve done a long (well, longISH) ride the day before, it’s OK to ride slow and easy today. We don’t all have to be as fast as early March hares.

And Tomorrow? 🌄

And tomorrow, shall I aim for 25 miles? I’m starting to do one or two rides of 19 miles or so during the week; is that trying to build up too fast? Maybe I’m subconsciously trying to make up for lost time; first CMC afthroplasty; and then lapiplasty, put a very major dent in my mileage last year! And maybe I’ll see some more early March hares tomorrow?

ABOUT ME

I began this website primarily as a way to present the story of how I accomplished a century ride on an adult tricycle. Other riders of adult trikes might want to know whether it’s possible. It sure is! You can read all about it in My Story.

I live in New Orleans; and  retired in January 2023. More time for cycling!
