Cringer Goes to the Vet
Thursday, October 28th, 2004Jihad!
Thursday, October 28th, 2004Yesterday’s commute was my 7th ride to work. Since my commute by car is 2 miles each way, I have now commuted 28 miles.My car gets around 28 miles to a gallon of gas (in town), so I have officially saved one gallon of gas by riding my bike so far!
Yippee!
If you count the fact that I normally drive home for lunch, I saved 2 gallons!
I can hear the Saudi royal family trembling with fear already! JIHAD!!!
9 Weeks
Monday, October 25th, 2004Woo Woo! Still no cigarettes, but the generic patches suck. I will be happy to go back to the square ones.
In other news, I have aquired a kitty.
This little beasty was living under a pile of cardboard outside my girlfriend’s workplace, crying and looking pathetic. So, now he lives with me.
The little turd needed a name, and after a quick google search for famous cat names, we settled on Cringer. Cringer was He-Man’s cat’s name when he was in normal mode. (Before the Powers of Greyskull transformed him into Battle-Cat)
Bike Ride Summary for week 9:
22 miles
Ride Downtown
Saturday, October 23rd, 2004As part of the quest to find a safe route to Middletown, I made a trek (my first) across the river into downtown Harrisburg. The Capital Greenbelt seemed like a good way to bypass the downtown traffic. My map program doesn’t list the Greenbelt as a routable road, so I needed to find a way so get the locatation of the greenbelt entered into the map program.
So…
My bike is now equipped with GPS navigation. I am the alpha geek!
The black line on the map is what the GPS recorded my location to be. Unfortunately, Delorme’s map doesn’t always line up, that’s why it looks like I was riding my bike through the river, but I really wasn’t.
Elapsed Time: 01:51:46
Max Speed: 30.4mph
Average Speed: 9.7mph
Distance: 18.10 miles
Let There Be More Light
Tuesday, October 19th, 2004I finally got my PlanetBike headlight installed, and I made it in through the rain and dark today. Unfortunately, I forgot to plug in my cyclocomputer, so no stats for this ride.
