I’m in San Francisco this week! And it’s absolutely gorgeous here. Warm, sunny, not at all what you would expect.
Yesterday we went around the Mission eating tacos, ice cream, fancy pizza and good cocktails. So much good food!!

At White Cap Brewing in the east village watching the boys make an IPA! It smells so delicious in here.
Good morning, Park Avenue with no cars!
I was right here riding along with Chris! It was all fun and games until we rode into Central Park and a guy slammed into the back of me. I went flying. Everyone in the park gawked. It was a-w-e-s-o-m-e.
