Goals and Totals

At about 6:22 this morning, just after passing the Northside entrance to Riverfront Park, the odometer on my bicycle hit 100. I have attained my goal for the month and without really trying. Next month I shall set the goal for 150 miles. I think that deserves a smoke!

It was another chilly morning but I wore my gloves so my comfort level was tolerable for the 10 minute ride. The morning air really wakes you up.

I counted 23 riders this morning. Nearly every seat had someone in it. Soon, we'll have to share our seats. It may come to a point where we have to talk to each other.

I had a little conversation with Jasper. He was talking about forest fires in Red Lodge, Montana where he was born. Then, as the bus rolled up, he said, "Here comes our Cadillac."

I purchased my August Bus Pass so I'll be doing this for another month. It is therefore time to quickly look back at July for an accounting of the vital statistics.

Days Riding the Bus: 18
Cost per Ride: $ 0.91.6
Money Spent on the Bus: $ 33.00
Money Spent on Gas: $ 77.00
Estimated Gas $ Saved: $163.00
Money Spent on the Bike: $158.20
Items Lost on Bus: 2 Pair Sunglasses
Estimated Value: $ 15.00
Miles Rode: 105.7

Outcome: Everything considered, I figure I made about $726.51 this month by riding the bus. Hey, it's my Blog.....it's my Math!
