we've hit a milestone with the ol' bike: my first road ride ! on sunday i took that thing outside of the city, on the road {obv}, for 12 miles {wimpy, but we're thinking baby steps}... and nothing traumatic happened! i've been wanting to try this loop for a while now, because... well... it ends at an awesome brewery so that is neat.
 

prior to our adventure we had some breakfast and coffee {+ tea} paired with some wandering around petaluma. it was a very pleasant little morning. later we were on the road, and minus the flat tire we had a fab time biking in farm country amongst the cows and the trees. 
 

^^ i was also trying to sunbathe in my tank top– multitasking has always been my strong suit.
