July Bike Vs. Car
July found me taking lots of shorts trips on my bike. Most of the trips consisted of daily commutes to and from work, but several jaunts to the store were also mixed in. It hasn’t felt like I’ve spent that much time on my bike compared to my time spent commuting to Seattle earlier in the challenge, but I ended up with a decent little mileage count at the end of the month.
July Results
Driving: 21.6 miles
Riding: 53 miles
Walking: 15 miles
Leg Powered: 68 miles
With one month left in the challenge I’m feeling pretty good about my chances of posting more bicycle commuting miles than solo driving miles.
Overall Results
Driving: 766.2
Riding: 792.51
Walking: 111
Leg Powered: 903.51

If Everybody Had a SUP Board
My dad bought a SUP and brought it to the beach and Barry, not being one to shy away from new water-related experiences, was thrilled to try to SUP for the first time.
After determining that the waves were just right and the cloud cover might go away, Barry opted to put down his surfboard and pick up the paddle and HUGE board to SUP.
I learned my lesson long, long ago not to knock the size of the waves at Neah Bay, or any other beach for that matter. For that reason alone I was so impressed with Barry’s ability to stay balanced and actually ride the board. Go, B-Mills!
After a while Barry came to shore and ditched the paddle, taking the enormous board out to surf on it. I tell you, that Man of Mine was born to be in the water!
He doesn’t really like it when I get all mushy about him on the blogosphere, but he looked suuuuper cute too.
No wonder we’ve got such a cute kid.
