Group ride--Davis Farmer's Market

9/1/2012

0 Comments

 
This morning, a group of us met up at Practical Cycle to ride to the Davis Farmer's Market. It's a 16 mile ride from there, plus another 5 for us from home. The boys and I thought we were bundled enough for the brisk morning but about two miles into it, I ended up losing my sweatshirt to Big Brother's chilly hands. Our Mundo was the perfect vehicle for the job.

I moved him to the Peanut Shell for the long ride, gave him a blanket and zipped up Little Brother.

Awesome group!
Half of our riders had never ridden to Davis by bike. We headed through the Gold Rush Days, over the J st bridge, through West Sacramento, and on to the bike path to te Yolo Causeway. Many people don't realize there is a bike path along the highway 80 bridge. Besides the noisy traffic and the occasional crop dusters, it's quite a fun ride. We stopped for a quick diaper change and continued on.

Happy baby!
There was a scraped knee after a brush with a curb but the Ikea first aid kit helped
patch our rider up. Always an important tool to have on board.

We got to Davis shortly after, taking a little over two hours to get there. Ate delicious tamales and Indian food, picked up fresh produce, and the young'uns ran out their yayas on the playground.

Davis, being one of the original (if not THE original) biking towns, is always a great bike-spotting hub.

There was a quick stop at REDRUM Burger for a few milkshakes. At one point, both my guys were fast asleep but that didn't last long.

Good thing he's bucked in.

Nite nite!
Jen and her Mundo hit 100 miles durin this trip! We took a quick breather and I happened to look down and see this on our odometer...

We hit 2000 miles! It's actually a bit more because Little brother has a habit of spinning the computer around and keeping it from logging miles. It's still an exciting number to see. I've never had a bike that logged so many miles, especially so quickly!

Hey Jose! We could have another kid!!!
The boys and I got home around 4pm after Parting ways with the rest of our crew. It was an amazing trip, perfect weather, and the greatest company. It was certainly a very long day for everyone but I was so impressed at everyone's ability to keep riding, even through some difficult times--babies crying, crashes, bum knees, etc. Biking is not the easiest way to go but I really think it is one of the most satisfying. We all chose to be self-powered and have an adventure--which it definitely turned out to be.

Thank you all, Davis Crew! I can't wait for our next ride!
