For the love of first bike rides of the year*

I picked up my ride from full moon vista on saturday for the start of a long-awaited riding season and have been riding ever since!

As soon as I got home with my beloved bicycle, I took her out for a spin around town...re-visiting my favorite route from the fall, and exploring new territories, topping the ride off with an adventure in fence hopping to find a short cut :)

Today's ride required a bit more endurance as I tested my "bike-shape" which was better than expected! *thanks to the good ol YMCA

I started out around 2pm in the beautiful 65 degree and sunny weather, and just followed the road wherever it took me for the next 3 hours...

I made my way out to Pittsford, found the canal path, made some pit-stops along the way to relax and make phone calls to catch up my family. After making my way back to the city, I made sure to basque in the sun's pre-setting glow around 6pm at highland park under the magnolia trees.

There were cutie little families with kids running around, people taking picture, and others just sitting in the grass enjoying the beautiful peace this season creates.

~Bike season is sure to be glorious and adventure-filled~
