    I can't figure out how to do anything with that. How do you input data?

    Awesome!!!! yesterday i rode 15.775 miles and burned 2162.3 calories. I love how you can look at the elevation graph. BADASS!!! Thanks Otto. Im pretty out of shape but little rides like that one will make me faster and leaner in no time. YES!!!!

    Chris, that is a good ride. Are you just riding in circles for fitness or running errands?
  5.  
    Oh, gotta double-click.

    Cool! The "straight line" thing lets me take the bike path! I've always wanted to figure this out. And the calories must be for walking, not biking.

    So, here's the route I take most days into town to meet with clients or buy bread.
    I do this one every other week or so to visit family.
  6.  
    Chris, those calorie numbers are for walking. Divide by 4 or 5 to get the numbers for biking.

    I know, it disappointed me, too.
  7.  
    That's probably just if you're crusing though... If you're pumping up and down hills with authority and got your adrenaline going, your calorie-burning has got to be much higher.
  8.  
    Nope. Cuz you do it for a shorter amount of time. Also, don't forget: every uphill has a downhill.

    Actually, instead of just going on hearsay, I'm gonna hit up Google.

    Interesting.

    Mostly, what that tells me is that I should bike more.

    Tomorrow I'm going to try and ride from downtown arlington to TCC in Hurst. I found out the TRE station is only 6 miles from my house. I'm pretty stoked on that. We'll see how the ride goes tomorrow.

    The ride went well with minimal wrong turns. I mapped it all out before hand so that helped. It's definitely been the most i've ridden in one day in a looong time... needless to say, my legs slightly feel like jelly and I'm looking forward to lighting up a fat spliff. Here's a pic of the TRE station I passed on the way...

    Here's the route:

    Other sites for finding and sharing bike routes.


    bikely: Great maps and route finder, no time stats.


    motion based: Great stats, poor maps.


    map my ride: This last site has so many clever features, that it has become non functional on my browser.

    suckafreejosh, that route seems to be... infinite?

    Map My Ride makes it awfully hard to see what you're doing around its own ads.
