bike races this weekend: i had to drive up to New Gloucester, Maine both saturday & sunday. a little more than 2 hours each way...

anyways. i just wanted to get there, race & come home, as quick as possible.
so instead of driving at 58mph & coasting... i kept it around 70mph (pizza & beer were waiting for me).

end result: 38mpg average.
not great.. but not as bad as i though it would be.

keep in mind that i also had my girlfriend, a ton of gear, and my bike & xtra wheels on the rack on the back...
