Gorgeous Day (3.3 miles)

Work again today- rode there with my buddy.  It was such a nice day. 80 degrees with a slight breeze and sunny; i wish i didn't have to work!  To and from work was all the bike riding i did today, hitting the 3.3 miles in 21:48, an average speed of 9.1 mph.  It was a nice easy ride and we had some good talks.  At one poitn, we decided to race and i got up to 26 mph. 

After work, i hung out with my girlfriend.  I had to drive to pick her up and took her to my house.  We went on a bike ride (she borrowed my mom's) and went to some unknown territory.  At one point, we went down a hill that had me going 31 mph and i started breakign before the hill ended because i was a bit freightened without a helmet.  We also went through a forestry area where i got somewhat lost, but found my way.  It was a great, easy, exciting, fun five miles.  However, this mileage does not count for my summer mileage because it did not replace driving.  Cross country is nearby tomorrow morning, so i will be walking.

Gas went all the way down to $3.75 this week, so that brings the average down to $4.01.

Total summer mileage: 42.1 miles
Money saved on gas (20 mpg at $4.01 per gallon): $8.44
