Those who play together, stay together...

For a few months now Justin & I have been talking about getting bikes. Since we tend to "impulse buy" things we decided to wait a while and see if we were still interested in it.

We finally decided we still wanted them and broke down and bought them. So Saturday afternoon we bought the bikes, brought them home, and fixed them just like we wanted with the bike lock and emergency pump.

Once everything was all said and done, it was late and we were exhausted, so we didn't even ride them. I thought to myself that this might be a bad omen and we had done it again. I didn't dare say this aloud for fear of the "I told you so," from Justin.

Contrary to my own speculation we finally made a plan to take a ride with Holli, Steve & little Steven on Sunday. They arrived Sunday morning at about 10:15. After getting Steven's buggy attached and the tires pumped full of air, we were on our way.

We started down Soscol to where the River Trail begins at Trancas. We rode the trail from Trancas to Lincoln all the way to Compadres Rio Grille where we had decided to have breakfast. It was still cool and overcast which was perfect for our ride and cool-off. First thing once we sat down the waiter brought us fried tortillas covered in cinnamon which were devoured in approximately 4.1 seconds. We ordered, ate and had a grand 'ol time as we sat outside on the patio overlooking the Napa River.

Once we were done and the bill was paid, we got back on the bikes and did the reverse route. We rode the River Trail back to Trancas, then Soscol back home. All in all we rode about 5 miles that first ride. I was glad I could squelch my skepticism that we wouldn't use the bikes as much as we thought, and can't wait for lots more rides with my husband, our friends or just with my own thoughts and an iPod.
