This morning I decided to try a different route and it was good, but short. Instead of the 7 miles I generally do, this was only 4 and I can definitely feel the difference.
I think I’ll try this one again tomorrow but will include looping around the Ala Wai golf course. That should put back my missing miles. You can see that in red on the map.
And when I opened my email this morning I found my first “Commute by Bike” newsletter. It’s a service of the Commute by Bike website. It had a link to an earlier article on the website about finding a perfect route with Google. Check it out!
[Note: I also use MapMyRide which has some nice features as well.]
I’ve also got some other thoughts. I’ve discovered that it’s only about 25 miles out to Barber’s Point Beach Park where, it seems, camping is allowed. As it turns out I’ll be out there this coming weekend to attend an event near the park. I’m going to try to check it out and see if the sites have enough trees to string a hammock. I’ve been thinking about getting a Hennessy Hammock.
Specifically I’m thinking of the EXPLORER DELUXE ASYM Model which is supposed to be the right size for big guys like me. It sounds a lot more comfortable and a lot less work than a tent.
Here’s the route to Barber’s Point as best as I can tell from Google.
Aloha!
Slower, cheaper, less useful…
