I got up and went out about 7 a.m. to go ride my bike. I was going to do the longest of the 10 routes I had (about 15 miles) and then finish up with an 8 mile route on Monday to finish it off. But as I got started, I realized that without too much work I could combine the two and finish them off. My ride this morning ended up being 20.03 miles, and it took me just over 2 hours.<\/p>\n<p>I wrote a pretty cool little program using <a href=\"http:\/\/maps.google.com\/\">Google Maps<\/a> to illustrate my bike riding routes, which you can see <a href=\"http:\/\/www.regoarrarr.com\/efc\/madeira.html\">here<\/a>.  The routes that I did this morning were #7 and #8 (Dark Green and Light Blue)<\/p>\n<p>The final totals for Madeira:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>120 streets<\/li>\n<li>9 rides, varying from 4.46 to 20.03 miles<\/li>\n<li>68.2 miles<\/li>\n<li>6 hours, 37 minutes and 44 seconds (an average of 10.29 mph)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p> So&#8230;. as Carolyn asked this morning&#8230;. now what?  Some thoughts I had were<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Attempt to ride every street in Madeira faster. This would entail just trying them again (since in theory the more I ride the stronger \/ faster I become)<\/li>\n<li>Create fewer, longer routes. This would also cut down my time, since in the routes that I have there&#8217;s a lot of backtracking, due to having to keep coming back to my house at the end of each route<\/li>\n<li>I took a copy of a map I have, and drew a circle of 2 miles around my house. So I thought I might try to ride on every street in that circle, then expand it to 3 miles, etc.<\/li>\n<li>Work on preparing for a race \/ duathlon \/ triathlon and\/or riding to and\/or from work. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, Madeira is mine.
