it was too windy for a ride out to the beach, so we opted for riding pretty much all over golden gate park.

manymanymany thanks to all who came on the ride, who brought food, friends and fun. i literally have never seen that nice weather on my birthday that i can recall. it's in FEBRUARY for goodnessssssake. but maybe this year is a statistical anomaly (weather-wise) or global warming is starting in earnest. whatever the cause for the nice weather...i'm so glad i was able to celebrate it outside!!! <3<3 now if next year is blustering and cold, things will be back to normal.
