Bike trip to Elmira
Bike trip to Elmira On Saturday I cycled from Waterloo to Elmira via St. Jacobs to visit my friend Connie (at right) who lives in Elmira. This was the first major bike ride I’ve done in the Waterloo area, even though I once lived with some major cyclists who seemed to know every nook and cranny in the region. 
Connie and I biking With the help of Bikely.com, a website I recently discovered that integrates Google maps with bike routes, I plotted out a route to Elmira that avoided highways and went through the town of St. Jacobs: 22km total. We then did an 18km loop through the Woolwich Reservoir and I cycled back home, giving me a grand total of 62 km for the day. Not too bad, and I wasn’t so sore that I couldn’t bike to school the next morning, so a success, I would say!

I didn’t know about Bikely. I’ve been using mapmyrun for runs, but haven’t been using the companion site, mapmyride. I found some good routes on Bikley. Thanks for the post.
