One of my nightly bike rides

Here is a Google Earth image of one of my nightly bike rides. Click here to see the normal map view which has the distance I biked (7.37 miles) and also has a note mode where you can point out landmarks and places to get water and use the bathroom (for longer rides).

You can do this on Google Maps, which is where I discovered it, but the site I took this from, MapMyRide.com, has other people's saved routes, and has a calorie calculator and rating system to make a log of your workouts, if you are a biking fanatic (I'm not- even though I have been doing a daily ride I don't wear the spandex uniform of a biking fanatic- however I can see why they do wear it because the wind resistance on normal shorts and t-shirt is astounding).

This ride is a very pleasant one, winding through tree-lined Pasadena and San Marino streets, through Lacy Park, and past El Molino Viejo, a pretty cool local historical landmark. There is one big hill to get the heart rate up, and one big downhill to get some speed on.

In all fairness, MapMyRide, is not the only site that has this map... since Google developed it, it has sprung up on a couple of sites, but this one seemed to work the best for me.
