a tandem is more fun when in love

over my staycation the mister and i took the tandem for some rides through the park and each time getting better. our plan was to ride over to the farmers market but that fell through since it was new years day and they weren't having it so instead we took it around the neighborhood and had so much fun! it is actually so much better to take it on the road and ride a bit faster rather then ride slowly through the park and take awkward tight turns.


it is really hard to take pictures of us riding but during our ride the following day we found the perfect spot! i think we look so cute riding it!

since gilbert is french and there is a tweed ride coming up in the spring we have decided that we would go dressed up french style with a baguette and a bottle of wine....cheesy and totally stereotypical but the mister and i had a good laugh. i can't wait for warmer weather so we can ride gilbert to the swimming hole and go on some longer rides together!


the mister was oh so nice and bought me a brooks lady saddle too!!!!!!!!! he found it SUPER cheap on craigslist! the seat that was on it before was so hard that after 30min. of riding around my poor little bum hurt, i couldn't imagine going any longer with that horrible seat on it! now we have two beautiful tan colored brooks saddles...gilbert is oh so pretty!


this weekend we will be taking gilbert to the farmers market and load up on some yummy food and then off to the most amazing fabric store in berkely, called stonemountain and daughter fine fabrics which i could stay in for hours! sometimes i get carried away and buy way too much fabric but hey i know i'll use it so it doesn't bother me!


***oh and by the way...i will be sprucing up the blog...i am really liking the direction it is going! any thoughts would be greatly appreciated****

    The compatibility of this application with
    the industrial packages and the freeware is excellent. It almost defeats the goal of buying online.
