Even a 200k might be a problem if the cocktail hour starts at 2:40 pm.

[jobob]

unless you're really really fast.

[spazzdog]

so, uh... 200K is like,ummmm ------ 130 miles. Yes? No?

aarrrrgh! In one day! Ya need cocktail hour to consider doing THAT!

I went to Bikely and input the ride Trek420 and I did Sunday... without my wrong turn It's simply titled : Oakland to Lafayette

That's really a cool site.

spazz

Yeah, I like it a lot. Hey, your route shows that you guys did ~ 1800 feet of climbing, nearly all of it in the first 6 miles. Brava!

Another really cool program for mapping SF Bay area rides is called BikeMaster. It was developed by Don Axtell, a member of snap's & my club, ACTC.

With Bikemaster you can draw up routes in seconds by selecting the pre-loaded roads. The downside to this is that not every Bay area road is in the database, but it seems that most of the roads that cyclists generally use in the Bay area are in there. You can map out routes and get pretty accurate distances, elevation profiles, total climb, and it will even estimate the time the ride will take based on your average speed and how long you generally spend on rest stops. And you can print out very nice looking cue sheets.


You can download a trial version (w/o all the functions); the full version is $30.

100 kilometers = 62.137 miles. You do the math.

MP is doing a 400k this weekend. She obviously uses her cocktail hours for odd ponderings.

[spazzdog]

yikes!

I did it, got in a bit late for cocktail hour but I had a couple of beers after anyhow

[SadieKate]

Just fashionably late, my dear.

[spazzdog]

But jobob, as discussed in a different thread, your wack-itude is off the charts...

spazz-o-no-200K-for-moi

[Trek420]

According to KLIMB, that's 1090 feet in 6 miles.

From the bottom of OTR or from the Spazzdog house/or Piedmont Ave?

Either way ... no wonder I'm sore.

[spazzdog]

From the bottom of OTR...

Although, Bikely says the whole route is 1807' gained, 1596' of descent (the yippee!! moments)

Hey SK... maybe you're just "sitting higher" (tee-hee-hee ) than MP.

spazz

That's just plain funny - and blatantly untrue! I'm not Taller Sarah for nuthin'!!

You've no idea.

Well, I suppose you do, actually!

It's cocktail hour NOW, by the way.
