the last day of a new begining

well folks today is my first day at the new job! i am a bit nervous when i think about it but i know i will be fine!
so this last friday was my last day and to celebrate we went out for drinks, had the most AMAZING lamb burger and then rolled out to the sf bike parties rites of spring themed ride!

the mister looking sooooo adorable...as always :)

 we met in front of the sf ferry building and everyone had flowers in their hair or on their bikes. the ferry building is a must see if you ever come out to sf. there is great food made from local food artisans..not to mention the fungi shop that is my most favorite! they sell a dynomite truffle oil and that i can never pass up!

"the hungry i" and a shot of some mans butt! hehe

this was by far the best ride. we went through north beach which is the "italian" section of sf where we rode down the famous broadway street that is lined with strip bars.

then went through fishermans wharf and toward ghiradelli square and for a bit where riding on the coast which was so beautiful and romantic!

the 2nd stop was at the palace of fine arts it was just the perfect place for a spring themed ride! watching the action from the side was like witnessing a may pole party from the greek times...everyone dancing & riding in a big circle and just letting loose!, it was really awesome! plus the view and having it all lite up at night was just spectacular! ssoooooo awesome! it really was the perfect way for me to celebrate and ease me into the next chapter of my story :D


i hope you all had a great weekend and were able to spend time with your mommies! we had a nice bbq and i got to spend time with my little nephew too! familia is the best!

w.o.w! i had such a blast on friday..well after work i had a blast :D and it went a little something like this!

the mister and i went to the chieftain before we headed out to the sf bike party. i had a pint of my favorite beer and had the guinness stew and the mister had the shepherds pie..they really make the best pub food ever!

we headed out to the civic center where we waited for directions and a BUNCH of riders. there were many different people there with some really awesome bikes as well as plenty of bikes that had stereos hooked up to them which really made the ride super fun!

i have never been a part of something so so cool! we both had a really great time and people just LOVED seeing gilbert out! it was so awesome to ride with hundreds of people that were all having a blast and just love riding bikes. it was fun to ride down the streets of sf and have people walking & driving by support us while we all dinged our bells in celebration!

what made it even more exciting was that i met up with tina from city girl rides and a couple of her friends. i knew she was going to be there but wasn't sure if we were going to meet up cause there were so many people.

we rode up to japan town and stopped at a park in presido heights for the first party and then rolled on to the second party which ended at dolorse park where a cute little band called odd owl played. they were so cute that i had to buy their cd...oh and i just couldn't leave the park without testing out the swing....can you find me??

the last leg brought us to garfield park in the outer mission which resulted in a dance party! so much fun!!

every first friday bike party puts on this event and we shall be attending as many as we can! next friday the east bay is hosting one which is themed....a mustache ride! i will have to make a special prop for that ride!

some other exciting news: i am featured on velo vogue today! i did a little post for kristin about riding the tandem!

hope you all had an amazing weekend!
