Here I am, taking my first small step to chronicle my adventures in recreational cycling and hypermiling. 

There is just something about hopping onto a bike and riding as far as you can go.  Satisfying journeys especially if the scenery along your biking route is pretty.

And in order to feed my recreational cycling addiction, sometimes I need to drive myself and my bike to new, unexplored destinations, and that's where my next passion of hypermiling comes in--  I own a Toyota Prius, which I have equipped with a hitch and bicycle rack, and I enjoy the challenge of squeezing as many miles as I can out of each gallon of gasoline while getting there.

There will be plenty of photos along the way, semi-, quasi-, pseudo-or wacky-philosophical musings, and just shooting the breeze.  I'm looking forward to it!

I'm all about going places and seeing new vistas, and these are my vehicles of choice:   2007 Toyota Prius and 2007 Specialized Sirrus LTD carbon-fiber bike.
