Expressions of gratitude

While in Centerville the Plewe gang threw Andrew a belated birthday party. Andrew received a bike gizmo that measures a million things.

Andrew expresses his gratitude for the new bike addition almost every with these 'bike updates'.....

" Ride to work was good, I went up Los Robles all the way to Altadena (7.1 miles uphill, avg. uphill speed of 9.8 mph) and then took that all the way down to work, total distance was 11.8 miles. I did it in 1 hr. 30 seconds (according to my bike odometer), about 10 minutes longer than the slightly shorter route I've been taking. Lake Ave still calls out to me, though -- when you get to the intersection of Lake and Altadena there's still a good mile or so to go before you hit the top of Lake (Google Maps tells me it's exactly a mile). From the map it looks like I would do well to go up Marengo, since it goes all the way to the top of Lake but would have less traffic Fair Oaks ends at Woodbury, then I have to cut over to Santa Rosa which doesn't go all the way to the top (it deadends into Athens about 1/2 mile from the end of Lake)".
