I'm sorry, everyone, that I haven't been updating. It has been crazy around here; our internet was out for 3 days last week and I can't do any 'community' activity on here from my phone. Then last weekend was super crazy busy with Christmas shopping and projects and a Christmas party. Then Monday I woke up with a stomach bug, my husband came home from work with it that day and my 2 1/2 year old acquired it last night in the night. It has been a long exhausting 7 days. Last week I got in 376 minutes on my bike. This week I have only managed 60 minutes so far due to the illness that is running-amuck here.

"For instance, the bicycle is the most efficient machine ever created: Converting calories into gas, a bicycle gets the equivalent of three thousand miles per gallon."
~ Bill Strickland
Mmm this got me wondering how many food calories equal 1-gallon of gasoline.
Googling took me to http://home.dejazzd.com/kgard/bcn/calories_in_gallon.html
where I learned that:
the energy in 1-gallon of gasoline is 31,500 food calories.
It is posted on the internet so it must be true!
