But, it’s a good pain!

Okay my legs still hurt a bit from yesterday’s ride. I basically cut the mileage down to 20 miles, but added a rather steep climb in the middle. Here’s this route output from Klimb:

  • Start at Canada Rd & Edgewood Rd proceed on Canada Rd and go 1.7 miles, climbing 130′ and descending 50′ to Canada Rd & Jefferson St (520′). [1.7 mi, 130′, 50′]
  • Go onto Canada Rd and go 0.9 miles, descending 90′ to Canada Rd & Olive Hill Lane (430′). [2.6 mi, 130′, 140′]
  • Go onto Canada Rd and go 0.9 miles, descending 70′ to Woodside Town Center (360′). [3.5 mi, 130′, 210′]
  • Go through Woodside Town Center and go 2.2 miles, climbing 80′ and descending 80′ to Portola Rd & Sand Hill Rd (360′). [5.7 mi, 210′, 290′]
  • Go onto Portola Rd and go 0.5 miles, climbing 20′ to Portola Rd & Old La Honda Rd (380′). [6.2 mi, 230′, 290′]
  • Go onto Old La Honda Rd and go 3.3 miles, climbing 1,320′ to Skyline Blvd (CA Hwy 35) & Old La Honda Rd (1,700′). [9.5 mi, 1,550′, 290′]
  • Go onto Skyline Blvd (CA Hwy 35) and go 1.6 miles, climbing 60′ and descending 300′ to CA Hwy 84 & Sklyline Blvd (1,460′). [11.1 mi, 1,610′, 590′]
  • Go onto CA Hwy 84 and go 3.3 miles, descending 1,020′ to CA Hwy 84 & Portola Rd (440′). [14.4 mi, 1,610′, 1,610′]
  • Go onto CA Hwy 84 and go 1.5 miles, climbing 70′ and descending 120′
    to CA Hwy 84 & Kings Mountain Rd (390′). [15.9 mi, 1,680′, 1,730′]
  • Go through CA Hwy 84 & Kings Mountain Rd and go 1.4 miles, climbing 100′ and descending 60′ to Canada Rd & Olive Hill Lane (430′). [17.3 mi, 1,780′, 1,790′]
  • Go onto Canada Rd and go 0.9 miles, climbing 90′ to Canada Rd & Jefferson St (520′). [18.2 mi, 1,870′, 1,790′]
  • Go onto Canada Rd and go 1.7 miles, climbing 50′ and descending 130′
    ending at Canada Rd & Edgewood Rd (440′). [19.9 mi, 1,920′, 1,920′]

For a total of 19.9 miles, 1,920 feet climbing and 1,920 feet descending.

You may notice that most of the climbing is on Old La Honda Rd, it actually took me quite a while to get up that hill. But, the trip back down was wonderful! You bet I’m going to put that one into rotation…

    now you need a gps unit so you can track yourself in realtime!

    Daniel,

    It would really come in handy, both on my bike and my Vespa. Especially since the speedometer on my SS is broke.

    Uggh! Now I’m surfing the net for handheld GPS units. Any suggestions?

    I don’t know anything about GPS units really. Yet. I’ll keep my eyes open, though.

    Perhaps a tinkerer’s solution? Check links for more links.

    While rummaging around trying to figure out a sane
    development environment for making foaf stuff on my
    phone (http://rdfweb.org/topic/FoafMobile — notes
    as I scribble them) I stumbled across something
    called P800GPS, which looks interesting.
    http://symbianos.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/P800GPS/

    Can’t find a website beyond the homepage dir there
    which is available here:
    http://symbianos.org/~mkotsbak/P800GPS/P800GPS.html

    It provides UI on the phone, java (midp I guessed? but
    it talks bluetooth, haven’t investigated fully yet…)
    for waypoint gathering, navigation. I don’t have a
    compatible bluetooth gps yet, tried libby’s globalsat
    but no joy. It claims to work with EMTAC/Socketcom if
    anyone here has that.

    I’d be interested to hear if anyone gets it working…
