Here's how the ride partner sheet distributes across the planet! We're pretty well covering the place!

It was drawn from the Clyde's/Athenas looking for ride buddies thread. I wasn't trying to leave anyone out at all , and am not done yet! I'll be adding to it. I added ya!

I'm number 1! But I'm in NJ - damn you Tom!

Thanks for putting that together, Google maps is becoming really amazing. They even have topographical overlays if you sign in, great for getting a sense of the terrain first

Whoops! I thought you were in NYC for some reason. Oh well, that way the old Google Maps joke can't be used on ya.....the one where they zoom in on someone and he's waving you off? Ever seen that? I'll fix it though On some of the locations where all I had was a state, by the way, I just dropped in a random location.

That's because Air put NYC as his location! I thought he was a Manhattanite!

Could you move me to Roseville, MN 55113, Tom? Might make a difference for people wanting to ride with me.

The map is very cool.

Hey Tom... what about me? We need a few more west coast Clydes/Athenas to balance things out

What gives with this distribution? Can we draw any conclusions from this? One could postulate that people on the west coast are more fit.... or on the other hand, one could conclude people on the east coast are just more honest. Being a west coast clyde myself, I think you east coasters are just more honest!

This is a clydealicious idea (wish I had thought of it).

I just noticed bleukahuna is in St Louis Park, MN and not St Louis, Mo. I only noticed because I went to look to see if he rode trails around me since his marker was in StL, Mo and noticed the trail he mentioned was in MN.

Yea, I hear ya. I'm on pace for a personal best 500+ miles for the month. Now that I have said that, something will happen that will keep me from it. . I'm slowly catching back up. I'm up 300 positions on Bike Journal since I started riding again and should be in the 1900's soon. It's a shame since I was sitting about 800-900 when I got injured.
