Show us your commute!

Anyway, here it is.

http://gb.mapometer.com/en/cycling/route_416814.html

Take off 1/4 mile for that rediculous stupid wrong direction at the very start.

And I ride the correct way round J5, Fiveways and Stanks.

evening:

I ride a different way in the morning to the evening due to hills, interest & traffic!

Here's mine, streatham to Waterloo, basically one end of Lambeth to the other.

 

[Watt-O]

That looks like a very nice run, you luck man. Nice part or the country that.

Here's my MTB commute....

And I thought it was 20 miles a day :-(

Here - assuming the link works - is mine.

 

[monkeypony]

Here's my new commute. Much more fun than the previous 3 mile one!

Here's my commute from twelve years or so ago. By gum but I was fit then ... I used to do this four times a week, each way. And audax on the weekends. It's another mostly rural one too.

Here's Jimbo's test. It never fails.

Notes.
I set the software to 'running'.

1/ It takes me down Solihull By-pass, where there's NO FOOTPATH.

2/ It takes me round the M42 junction gyratory, where's there's NO FOOTPATH.

3/ It DOESN'T know there is a footpath overbridge which joins the two closed ends of the old Warwick Road.

4/ It's NOT the shortest route.

5/ If I select 'cycling' it still takes me counterclockwise round the M42 junction gyratory.


All in all, It's useless.

You do know that you can uncheck auto-follow roads and add your own waypoints into your route?

I've posted it before, but here it is again. 11.5 miles. Mmm. the calories are definitely wrong, it says I use more calories on the way to work (downhill overall) than I use on the way back (uphill overall). Oh and watch out, it has a tendency to use the shortest route, even at roundabouts . Not the best tool IMO.

Yes, I know.

But if YOU got off the train at Solihull and needed to ride your bike to Knowle ( and used this mapping site to plan you're route ), it would take you along the 70 limit bypass uphill with cars merging from the left at 70 and Land Rover transporters rolling past you within reach of your right hand.

Even I don't ride there.

Aaah the testing ground for land rover, aston martin and jaguar.

Good area to spot the latest from each company, i believe the latest jaguar XFR was spotted on various occasions around gaydon.

Maybe it knows the prevailing wind in that area is a west-Souwesterly, therefore making it more difficult on the outbound than the home trip.
