The long and winding roads
Good gosh. Talk about a long way to go for just a little bit of return. This has taken hours. And by hours, I mean four. Fortunately I was too beat to do anything else but sit, read, and tweak.
Anyway.
If you are using Firefox you will notice a map with a highlighted course.
If you are using Internet Explorer, you'll see the map, but no course. You'll notice that the map bleeds over the Search box and that you have two bonus boxes generally screwing things up.
If you're using a Mac, you see the map, the course, and you have an incredible feeling of inner peace. Really, I don't know if you see the map at all.
Everybody gets some extra white space under the title.
A lager version of the map is here.
I won't go into great detail about the problems I had. Most of the problems were caused by my unfamiliarity with the process. A couple of the solutions were of the I've already tried that and it didn't work ... what the hell, I'll try it again ... well whatta ya know variety. I hate those. I like to know exactly what boneheaded mistake it was I made that I then fixed.
I can tell I'm going to start to drone on ... so I'll stop.
Below is the map of the bike ride I took today. At first glance it doesn't look like 50 miles. And when you check the GPS, it isn't 50 miles -- it's 49.16. The bike computer (and I have two hooked up ... one is also the Heart Rate Monitor) shows over 50 miles.
I'm counting it as 50. It hurt a little bit.
