Today is Memorial Day here in the US. I suspect that some people in this part of the country are not having the picnics, cookouts or other outdoor events they might’ve planned for today. It has rained or drizzled almost steadily for the past two days and the heavy clouds hovering over us are trapping dampness that could turn to rain at any moment. That is one reason I am not at the Tour of Somerville. That, and I woke up later than I’d planned. But I might play chicken with the rain later today and sneak a ride in.
In the middle of the journey of my life, I am--as always--a woman on a bike. Although I do not know where this road will lead, the way is not lost, for I have arrived here. And I am on my bicycle, again.
I am Justine Valinotti.
