First 2008 bike ride

[drewan]

I rode 7.26 miles last night. That's not to bad for my first bike ride of the season.

I rode east on 73rd/Diagonal Blvd, then north on Cedar Avenue South, cross over the 66th Street bridge and Longfellow Avenue around the cargo area of the airport. Then I crossed over 494 at 12th Street.

I had thought about trying to reach the nature reserve that minnehaha K had told me about during applecon, but I went a block past the American Blvd turn, came back and started heading east on American Blvd, then realized that I was starting to feel tired, so I turned around and took American Blvd back to 12th street. I crossed over 494 there and rode back north toward 73rd street, but then took a detour over a block to check out a little hidden pond/lake.

My whole ride took just about 50 minutes. I spend the last 10 minutes of my hour workout sweeping the garage.

Anyone have a good online tool for marking bike travel and saving it? I used Google Earth to measure my trail, but I can't save or export the path measurement.

The name aside, I've found MapMyRun.com excellent. And I'm sure if you tell it you're running instead of biking, it'll still work.
