Bike Routes
Do you bike to work? Show your favorite route(s) by using http://www.gmap-pedometer.com
Directions:
Type in your address then zoom into
it.
Once at your address, click the "start recording" button on the
left.
Simply click on the starting point and then follow your
route. This works, as far as I can tell, how the crow flies so if
there are major turns you will have to keep clicking. This puts
in "legs" which will not really mean anything in this case.
Once you reach your desination point, you click the "save" on the left (or something like that).
From there, it will give you a URL. Post it here!
The list below shows different location separated by DC/VA/MD at this time. I linked the destination to the HOPE Listserve message describing the ride if there was such message available. The second link starting with "http:" is the actual map.
To DC Locations:
"Long" Route to Busboys and Poets/Colorado Kitchen route:
Magruder Park to Nationals Park
NOTE - Before Mile 4 there is an entrance to the Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens.
NOTE 2 - A little more than 4 1/2 in you will go up a hill towards a park with soccer fields. There is a path off to the right that cuts across to another service road (Dean Ave?). If take that and then take a right and follow the road to the end there is another path that brings back onto the path around mile marker 6 1/4. If you look at the satellite view you can see it. Cut's off a good 10 minutes of the ride, but it is hard gravel/dirt, not paved path.
To MD Locations:
Magruder Park to Lake Artemesia (and once around for fun)
To VA Locations:
