A Mother's Day tribute

Today . . . Mother's Day . . . I rode a relatively short distance, but my heart was with the two breast cancer survivors in my family -- my Mom and my sister. I am very grateful for their good health, my sister's successful surgery last week, and the advances in medicine that have enabled them to defeat their own bouts with cancer.

On this day -- yet another with below normal temperatures and breezy conditions -- I rode a little over 16 miles on side streets in Roselle and Schaumburg. Occasionally, the sun would peek through, reminding me that its warming influence will soon be taking charge of our weather, bringing summer-like weather to our area. Like many others in the Chicagoland area, I can't wait!
