Errands
Date: June 28 Sat
Mileage: 7 (Bleriot)
June mileage: 362
Year to date: 960
In my haste to do a brief Saturday ride report from the p.m. Crosscheck ride, I forgot about my morning of errand riding with the boys. 'L' and I rode up to Breadworks for coffee and a muffin in the morning. Later I dragged the every-lazy 'Z' to ride to 'L's' baseball game and then home. 2 very simple neighborhood errand rides netted me 7 extra miles, a few or which make up for me driving them to church today. BTW, I had to fill the truck up with gas on the way to church. How much, you ask? $92.75. I like the stories of Doug sans car or Pete who always seems to ride or everybody's fav commuter king Kent. I at least know Doug and Kent use their cars almost never (does Kent ever drive?). I have a big, fat Toyota Tundra, which I love for carrying people, but also which pains me each and every time I get in it. I paid $4.23/gallon, a pretty amazing price if you ask me. Ridiculous! I'm speechless, really, speechless mostly b/c I actually drive it. Mas bicicleta, ?no? It will make that occasional "I'm too lazy this a.m." commute a little easier to pull off this fall, I would imagine. $92.75, I mean, really.

Gas is about $4.10 here (slightly more if you pay with a credit card, which is irritating...). As I'll be heading to school solo this fall, I'm looking at taking the train most days -- it's pretty much the same cost as driving, but without the traffic hassles, plus I can say I'm helping the planet in a very small way. (There's no way I could ride to school, however...)
I'm glad that the price of gas has crept high enough to encourage people to find other options when possible.
