Bike Pic Jan 23, Peace Begins With A Smile So Smile

Mother Teresa once said, “Peace begins with a smile”. So this Monday get out there and smile. The sun should be out, at least in in the morning, so grab your bike or take a walk and enjoy the sunshine before the snow comes in again. This picture was taken during a Penn Cycle event out at Buck Hill near Lakeville, MN, last summer.
