Yesterday I went down to Eugene to do some shoe shopping and drop off my SCUBA reg for service. While I was in REI, I ran into Simone.
I bought 1.75 gallons of gas. I had 90 miles on my odometer. That makes 51.4 mpg.
I went 90 miles total.
Long ride through Perrydale and Amity
I took a long ride around the valley yesterday on some interesting and stunningly beautiful roads. The country around Perrydale in particular is gorgeous this time of year.
In total I road about 125 miles. I also stopped and got some gas. My fuel economy was 45.5 mpg. Not too surprising considering the fun I’ve been having lately.
How to surprise a Ninja
Today I rode my bike to school and then on for a little fun in the twisties up on Lewisburg Saddle. On the way back, a Ninja in the 500-750cc range pulled up next to me at a stoplight. He revved his engine a few times and motioned that we should race. The light turned green and we took off the line. I watched the look of surprise on his face in my rear view mirrors as I pulled away.
Pretty good for a scrappy old bike from 1984!
Total mileage: 25-ish
