First Bike Ride

Today we got up early and went on our first official bike ride together.  Here's me on my new Dolce Elite Gloss Red Road Bike.  Pretty sharp, I must say.  We rode from John's office in Sausalito for about 4 miles to Mill Valley and back.   Our ride took us through the streets of Sausalito and a bike trail along the bay towards Mill Valley.  Not a long ride as we just wanted to make sure my seat is positioned in the right place, and I could get comfortable shifting gears.  It ended up being a gorgeous day, and I managed not to fall, but I did almost take out a 12-year old at one of the stop lights on our way back.  The best part about it, her mom said sorry to me!   We ended the ride treating ourselves to a pasta lunch at Pasta Pomodoro in Mill Valley next to Jay the Realtor's office.  It was hard to fight the urge to go to In-N-Out, our usual pre-Jay stop, as John is on a "I need to lose weight" kick.
