First I should say how impressed I am by the people at Mapmyride.com, the site is slow, but on further investigation I realise that is because there is so much data involved in a GPS track of a route. Granted its not Gene splicing or even medical records of every person in Canada, but it is still an awful lot of data, multiplied by hundreds, thousands? of users. Anyway what impresses me is not the slowness of the site, rather it is the responsiveness of their support, just check out the comment in yesterday's post.
Anyway in other news I am trying to organize a ride for the holiday Monday. The route is below, I expect to see all my friends there, or I'm gonna find you after and bitch slap you for being a chicken! No seriously, I hope to see lots of people out there, it is a really nice route. I am hoping to start at Timmy's at Lakeshore and Leslie at 5am, but if people from further away want a later start, as long as they actually are serious about coming I can put it off a little bit, but I would like to dodge the bad holiday traffic by leaving as early as possible.
An addendum: This ride will be a LSD (Long Slow Distance, not Lysergic acid diethylamide, sorry guys.) My goal is an average speed of 28~32km/h over the 185km, so expect it to take about 5 hours, plus time for a coffee stop at Timmy's just south of Simcoe.
