Bicycle Race - Queen

There is no race going on today, but there is a big ride happening. Shortly I will be hopping on my bike and heading down to the disc golf course for 18 holes. After that some meandering home through various neighborhoods, and perhaps some lounging on campus while the students are away on Spring break.

Methinks it will be a glorious day.

Help Us Review Google Maps for Bikes | Autopia | Wired.com

Google Maps has finally added bike routes. That’s great — but how well does it work?

You tell us.

Google’s “Bike There” mapping tool provides directions for cyclists in 150 cities in the United States and covers some 12,000 miles of trails. There’s no way we can even begin to assess the accuracy of so vast a dataset. We don’t have to. We’ve got you. Help us crowdsource a review. Is Google Maps for bikes “pretty awesome,” as one cyclist told The Boston Globe? Or is it “full of potentially fatal flaws,” as the New York Post claims. Let us know.

Here’s what you do: Map out a route. Any route. Ride it. Snap some pics along the way. Then send us a blurb telling us about it. How direct was the route? How good were the roads? Did it try to put you on the Long Island Expressway or over that hors catégorie hill climb between you and the office? Anything and everything that might come to mind is fair game.

In about a week or so, we’ll compile the best of the blurbs into a review and pick one or two submissions at random for a prize.

UPDATE: 4:15 p.m. — Wow! We’ve already gotten about a dozen blurbs. Keep ‘em coming! Remember to send pics…

UPDATE: March 12 — D’Oh! We failed to mention the 150 cities are all in the United States.

I just wrote the following in an email ”Yes, we will drink mass quantities this afternoon and it will be awesome.”

I think I might reference the Coneheads too much, they most likely are not on too many peoples minds. I either confused the recipient, or they think I am a booze hound.

Giving the Sierra Nevada Torpedo Extra IPA Ale a try.

So far it’s not bad. Not my favorite IPA, but it’s not one of the worst either.

Every time I get my bike out my kayak yells at me, wanting to know when I am going to take it to the river. If only it knew how sad the rivers around here are.

My snowboards used to yell at me every Winter “Why aren’t you taking us to some mountain? There is snow on the ground!” It’s been so long since I’ve given them a decent ride that their yells have changed into a soft whimper.
