TC to D-town
Not sure if I shared with the community that the Domestique and his pals Erik (aka, Angel Moroni, currently guest-blogging over at Mindy's joint) and James (seriously in need of his own blog, we can only hope once a grad student he'll find enough arrogance, self-importance, and free time to start his own, until then we'll have to be content with his witty remarks here and elsewhere) are forming up a bike posse to trek from the Twin Cities to Duluth, or the other way around. Well there is this amazing awesome just totally fucking cool website for cyclists out there. It's called MapMyRide and it is beyond hyperbole, it's that f'ing rad. Basically it allows you to chart your distance, elevation, and more by just pointing and clicking your way around a google-map. There is also MapMyRun for runners, and I would be remiss if I didn't thank Misha (and Steff for telling her) for showing me the site. Check it out, here is one possible route (176 miles long, max elevation 1208ft, total ascent 1927ft, total descent 2080ft):

That will be a really, really nice ride. Have you ever ridden the Munger Trail? It's pretty. And it's a rail trail (soooo flat), so you can ride super fast.
The MS Society's Duluth-to-TC ride, the MS 150, has a good route. They do the Munger and then hop off and end up...near Lake Elmo somewhere. Anyway, you should check it out. It's a good one.
Ooooh, that site is awesome!!! Thanks for the tip.
Let's map our ride!
