tour de fat

finally!!! on our way to point reyes for the next three days. tom and i are riding there and will be enjoying the nice warm sun, oysters and just a romantic time with no distraction except each other. i have a fun green diy post lined up for you all while we are away. 



we went a couple of weekends ago. we try and go every year but have missed the last two due to the wedding and then our honeymoon. next year if you can go you all should, it is so much fun! lots of bike related things and yummy beer of course!


this year it was a foggy day in golden gate but that didn't stop the crowd from coming out. if you live in sf and have lived here a majority of your life you get used to it. i always love that there is free valet bike parking...yea, we are so fancy over here in the west coast :D the theme of the festival is always the same, indie circus which is really cute! they always have great bands, a marching band and other types of entertainment.


we had to stop at the custom button booth and we got ourselves a winner, i am really in love with our choice....you can just sense the evil in her eyes! hehe


we picked a nice spot on the little hill and enjoyed beers and watched some bands and ran into some friends which was really awesome. we even saw a girl propose to her boyfriend, it was so sweet...oh and he said yes of course!


we left to go eat some grub and our friend wanted to test out gilbert, it was actually the first time tom had ridden with someone else on the back. this picture is so cute, i thought for sure they were gonna fall, it was a rough start! we had a great time and if the tour de fat ever comes your way, be sure to check it out!

hope you all have a great weekend. be sure to stop by tomorrow for a fun green diy!

  6. I missed Tour de fat when it was here before, but am now even more motivated to make it if it ever comes back. :) I love New Belgium and their company ethics. Such a great company overall.

  7. That looks so adorable! The proposal story is super cute too :) I love those crazy bikes! Did they have penny farthings there, you know those old-timey bikes? I have always wanted to ride one of those!

    Have a great mini-vacation, my dear!

  9. That shoe bike is too cool. I think I'm jealous in how immersed you are in the biking community. It's like a gang, but a healthy indie gang.
