For the better part of last week, the meteorologist stressed how beautiful it would be on Saturday with highs in the 60s. He was wrong. Browsing boutiques and stopping at a beloved restaurant for brunch was much colder than anticipated, but a mint shell and floral bracelet kept an optimistic spring in my step.

Dave coaxed me onto a bike last year: my first time riding one in well over a decade. Let’s just say that, yes, you can forget how to ride a bike. And, yes, you’ll ache the next day in places you didn’t know could ache. Despite last year’s rough experience, I’m trying to be optimistic about cycling this year.
