Mapping the Trip's GPS Records

Along the ride from Pittsburgh to DC, I had a GPS on the handle bars. it recorded my location as I rode. I was able, with some help, take the data file and load it on bikely.com click here to see it.







You can zoom in to see interesting paths like how I really got out of Pittsburgh, how far the waffle house detour really was. It is cool, you can even see where we missed the turn off to get from the rail trail back to the canal and where I backtracked to see if Scott needed help with his flat.

When you look at my travel, occasionally you'll see straight lines that don't map exactly to the tow path. this is because at times the tree cover is too thick to for the device to pick up the satellite.

So nice to read about and understand how many things can happen on a biking trip. Your blog reads like an unfolding story of a "biker dude" on his way to the "end of the rainbow". Nice going Glenn. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to read your biking blog. There are things I never knew about you that fall nicely into place. Think Christine and the girls are ready to go on this type of adventure? Maybe not so many miles or so rugged a path!?
