Biking off the path...

Dash and I took our first off-path trip tonight and it was fabulous!  We biked from our house out past our friend Amity's, made a quick stop to say hi and wish her a Happy Birthday, then continued down to the Panhandle.  From there we rode down through JFK, onto the road that cuts up behind the Conservatory of Flowers, took a right on Arguello and a left on Clement.  So easy and it took us 20 minutes tops!  

There were a ton of friendly bikers, many of whom were excited to see the Oma.  Dash sat in his Bobike Mini looking out over the handlebars, pointing out all of the other "bipes" and waving to buses.  What a blast and now that the seal is broken, we can't wait to ride more.  Getting home was super fast as well.  Despite Jim & Marie's sweet offer to give us a lift, I decided to brave it and we had a tranquil dusk-lit ride through the park and home.  One hot bath later and the tired little guy is fast asleep dreaming of our next biking adventure.  I can't wait!
