Not a bad way to spend a Tuesday


ahh , the science park ! Get fit and get cancer at the same time !
Well , I did today what I wanted to do yesterday . I started in the Science Park as opposed to Cameron Heights, after yesterday`s pathetic attempt at a long ride I had a rather bad taste in my mouth about that place .
entering Hawerlak 10 a.m ......nice and jackass free

One thing I wanted to do was check the gps . I heard that gps units don`t measure true distance unless you have a cadence/speed sensor which was  a little odd . This ride  on the Mojo in April always made me wonder how many lost km`s there were . So I threw on one of the computers and tracked it with that as well . ........... O.K , now I have bored all of you ! And dammit ! I`m sorry !
first breaktime of the day
 The tracking below .....To compare , the computer tracked 71.52 km as opposed to 67.67km on the gps


serious talent here ! self portrait while riding ! Before the climb out of Terwilliger
You thinking what I`m thinking ? How come I didn`t hit Mill Creek ? It`s a good question , I felt alot better then that end to end ride in April , but today I passed by it twice and never even thought of heading up there . Strange! I did hit Mckinnon (Mill Creek`s little sister) so it wasn`t all bad .

potty break
I know there are longer routes then this . I just wanted to do this one again , I have been flirting with the idea of an end to end run starting in Beaumont . That would be good but there would be a ton of road riding which I would not like .......at all !

last break before the push home
