AG: Thursday's ride

I love trees and I love smooth roads. I wish they weren't in conflict. I haven't noticed that, perhaps because around here tree-lined roads tend to be roads used only by the people who live on them. When I lived in upstate New York, and trained for the September Century every summer, I was much puzzled by the brown line on my left calf. Eventually I realized that whenever the sun was to my right, I was on the shady side of the road. I still have a tendency to put more sunscreen on my left leg. When planning tomorrow's ride, I noticed that Google Maps will now allow me to ride a bike over Chinworth Bridge. Previously, I had to map two separate rides. So I switched to walking mode: they still won't let me step over the curb between KCH and the Beyer Farm Trail. I suspect that they can't figure out a way to let walkers use routes that aren't in their data base without letting their automatic route maker route people through buildings. I do walk through buildings when I haven't got the bike with me. When I was in college, I regularly cut through the State House to get to the state library. And always reflected on how IMPRESSED I had been the first time I saw the inside. -- Joy Beeson joy beeson at comcast dot net http://wlweather.net/PAGEJOY/ |
