Happy Monday everybody. Unless you had to fill up the gas tank this weekend. I love my car and I still figure I'll be one of the last guys on the open road if the Mad Max dystopia ever turns into a reality but I'm not embarrassed to admit that I've gotten a lot of work on the bicycle over the last month.
Weekly stops to my folks house for dinner or my brothers house for a Monday night free weights session (I'm ripped) only save six miles here, three-quarters of a mile there but between that and my extended ride on Saturday, to and from the Life Walk, Grand Rapids to Hudsonville, I've probably saved a good... no, less than a half-tank. Wait, is that all? And here I'd felt like I was making real progress and saving the environment. Turns out all I've saved is what, thirty bucks? Over the last month? Now I've got this sudden, overwhelming compulsion to go cut down a tree or something to get even with Algore for tricking me. Or to try to dig an oil well in my backyard.
