    Mom, you know we love this game!

    I was driving 50 miles, but I was ask to bowl in a league closer to home, so I quit the 50 mile league!!

    Now I can save a whole lot of gas!!!

    The alley that I bowl on takes about 5 minutes to get there with no traffic. When I leave during traffic hours, it takes 20-30 minutes

    And I always thought saying how long it takes to drive somewhere was a New England thing.

    Although there are a few houses closer to me, I drive 30+ miles to bowl. Carolier which hosts the US Open is about half the distance from me. Whenever I can find a new job, I'll probably join a league there as well.

    You know HunterRunsIt has it made. 10 min bike ride, tunes on the way and from opening till 5 weekdays, $1.00 a game.
    And It is a nice set of lanes.

    I have 15 miles one way to a much less quality lane, that cost a lot more. When I go to his house, it is 70 miles round trip.

    I don't think HunterRunsIt will be peddling it much longer though. Maybe till January. Drive safe, the life you save may be mine!

    Thankfully just 15 mins (about 8 miles) for league play. Being Maine though and pretty rural traveling away from the local center can really start to add the miles up.

    The centers I go to are between 3 and 5 miles. so usually 15 or 20 minutes.
