Well, that KML problem didn’t get to marinate for long: I decided to just have a python script write the output as a generic text file. It’s a pretty dumb program, but it worked like a charm. I tested it by making maps of all my remaining unofficial rides, maybe half a dozen in all. The process took less than a minute per map, thus saving me about an hour of work, at the cost of only a month of coding… Hey but it was an interesting learning experience!
It was also interesting to see the difference between the maps of official rides and the less-developed, unofficial ones — the new ones seem so sparse, with missing lunch spots and fewer access locations. It’s clear, from seeing them on these maps, that at least some of the new rides aren’t ready for prime time.
Anyway, yesterday was a bike rest day for me, and I got a bunch of yardwork and other chores done. Today and tomorrow look like rain.
