Mother's Day! CycloFemme! Ikea! 

What better way to start off a special day than to strap the kiddos onto the Mundo and ride down the road to my aunt's house (yes, the aunt who insisted on riding on the the back of my bike). We towed her newly tuned up bike to her house where she hopped on and joined us for a ride to our CycloFemme meeting point at Discovery Park. 

The CycloFemme ride was started by GirlBikeLove to honor the rich history biking has shared with the women's liberation movement and how biking still gives women a freedom that might not be otherwise accessible without it, empowering and encouraging more women to get out and ride, benefitting themselves and our health as a community and environment. 

“Let me tell you what I think of bicycling. I think it has done more to emancipate women than anything else in the world. It gives women a feeling of freedom and self-reliance. I stand and rejoice every time I see a woman ride by on a wheel…the picture of free, untrammeled womanhood.”
-Susan B. Anthony

Our Sacramento ride was a small one. Eleven of us showed up to ride a short 2.5 mile loop around Discovery Park. It worked well for our young riders and it was fantastic to meet new, friendly, biking families. I have great plans for our next ride now that we have had a trial run to see what worked and what didn't.

Gathering after a fun ride.
This morning was the first ever Ikea Breakfast ride. Each Monday, Ikea serves its $.99 breakfast plate for free. It's a simple and safe 3.5 mile ride from Practical Cycle in Old Town and it's a great excuse to pick up a few "necessitates" for the home. I have a feeling that my loads are going to get larger and larger with each ride as I enjoy testing myself and my bike a little more than I probably should...and we need a new bed for the boys...

Since Jose is getting too close to me on our May Is Bike Month challenge, I decided to go the long way home and keep my lead strong. We also received our sunshades from Rocky Mountain Trail and I am looking forward to installing them and giving the boys some better protection from the elements.

New project, just a drill and some zip ties needed. I hope.

Considering that I brought 6 of them (who were all directly related to me), I felt it was a little small. I have great plans for next year, however and it's going to involve chocolate and roses and mamas.
