More Car-Free

 A few hours before I paid 4.31.99 per gallon to fill up my truck (~$100 when I was done), I needed to go to the bank to cash some checks.  I decided to take my trike and get in a good ride at the same time.  Today was a day off, at any rate, so it seemed like a good opportunity.  So, I rode this route:

A bit hilly at times, and definitely got a lot of sun, but a good ride, nonetheless.  I took it easy heading out, as I wasn't completely sure what I'd run into, and I didn't want to overextend.  It turns out that the 6 miles to the bank wasn't that bad.  Not as much wind as I'd like, but not bad.  Leaving the bank, I ran into more hills than I thought I would (note the slope just before 7 miles - ouch).  However, a pretty good ride.  The next time, I'll get my average up as I won't be quite so tenuous.
