Biking 2,500 miles!

Posted on by

This is an official challenge to anyone now writing in the Tour de France or, for that matter, any cyclist in the world who comes across this post. Yesterday, on 5 July 2010, at 4:19 PM, I left my house for a bike ride. I used an iPhone app called MapMyRide to–well–map my ride. My ride ended at 5:11 PM, making it a 50 minute ride. I thought that I had ridden about six or 7 miles, at a leisurely pace, stopping to take pictures here and there.

But I don’t know my own power! When I looked at the map of my route as uploaded, I had biked 2487.1 miles: across western Massachusetts, through upstate New York, through a little piece of Ontario on the Great Lakes, through Michigan, across Lake Michigan (there must be a ferry), through Wisconsin and Minnesota into Canada, across Manitoba and Saskatchewan, and well into Alberta just above Edmonton. I’ve embedded the map below, but it’s impressive to list them out like that, don’t you think?


I remember none of it, nor how I got home… I did get some pictures, but I stopped taking them a few miles from home. I’m not sure why. Did I fall asleep on Ambien during this 2400 mile ride? I don’t take Ambien! Anyway, here’s my six, not so interesting pictures.

What an outstanding idea! Most bike lanes as we have them here simply don’t work very well. As long as you stay in them and go straight ahead, you are fine. But try to get in and out of it, to actually use the bike lane to commute, and you are in trouble.

My Ride Tonight

Posted on by

My bike ride from today is on the map below. It was longer than I planned because I took a wrong turn, maybe two, and went a route I hadn’t intended to go. It was alright, though. It took me on a road that runs through the Broadmoor Audubon Reservation, which is bigger than I ever realized. I’ve walked the trails back there, but the trails don’t go all the way through.

I went out too late, so I barely got back before dark. I just haven’t been able to accept the shortening days yet. So I wento out at 5 thinking I still had a few hours of sun left. I didn’t. I was also late getting out because I am constantly saying to myself that I need to finish this, that and the other thing before I go out. I put off my bike rides in the same way I put off the gym, and yet they are so different.

I always really enjoy my rides. They are explorations. I never really have a plan, I just go. And I’ve gotten even more adventurous, now that I have an iPhone with GPS, because I know I can always get back. It is a sad state of affairs when procrastinate so much on something I like to do because I have work to do. That, my friends, make me a workaholic.

I have a Trek mountain bike, but I don’t have any place to go mountain biking, so I ride on nicely paved roads. Those big thick mountain bike tires are unnecessarily difficult. I should probably also get better reflectors for my bike. Because the people trying to get home around dusk on Sunday drive just like tense rush hour drivers.

Anyway, here’s the map of my route. It’s not a bad ride. I took it at a really leisurely pace. I wouldn’t do at around dusk. I charted it using iMapMyRide. I like that service, though I am still using the free version and that ads are bothering me. But is it worth the price of an upgrade just to get rid of the ads? Other features don’t seem all that useful.
