Harry and I + Adam and Teri did Bike the Drive yesterday morning. Rain or shine, it was happening.
And for some reason, I wore a sleeveless jersey. The only reason I can think of as to why I chose this was because I thought the sun was going to come out from behind the clouds.

It feels nice to do that every once in a while.:)
