Lesser harbingers.
I rode my first 37 mile loop de loop sherborndoverwestwooddovermedfielddoversherborn of the year. The only black ice was in Sherborn where the Rocky Narrow Conservation Land upper field drains across the Forest St to the lower field.
The sparrows, tufted titmouse, chickadees, junkos and grackles were rustling in the rhodies about the upcoming weather, a few crows swooped over as I rode and a deer was unimpressed with my finish. Nice to get out
