I could do the ride in 9.2 days! Bear with me on this. Today was a good, and I assure you, not a delusional riding day. My after-work “quickie” was quick- 22 miles at 17.2 m.p.h. That’s pretty fast, so being the scientist that I am, I did the math. 3,800 miles divided by 17.2 mph is 220 hours, which divided by 24 hours is 9.2 days. Ok, so sleep would be nice. Change the calculation to riding 12 hours per day and we’re up to 18 days for the crossing. So what will I do with those other 34 days?
Blogger madness- double clicking on the picture (remember yesterday’s lesson) will help you through this. Chris has given me a tool to data mine my blog. As of today, we’ve had over 300 visitors! Yipee. But a closer analysis shows that 52% of the people who come to the page leave in 5 seconds- the equivalent of a cyberspace wrong number. (Maybe I shouldn’t have used “free Viagra” as one of my Google identifiers.) Interestingly, 34% of visits last longer than an hour. Is there that much thought provoking content in the blog, or do people just leave their computer on while they leave to do their laundry? Finally, I can tell how many people are new and how many visitors return every day. There are four or five regulars. Thanks for coming back, Bob. Your coffee cup is on the counter.
