58. Googlegate


Sure, I knew that Google Maps for Bicycles is still in the "beta" phase, and even if it weren't, I should have brought a traditional road map, but still naive after all these years, I just printed up the Google directions and started the 44 mile trip home. After a light night shift and weather predicted for sunny mid-60's, I was looking forward to the ride. Six (yes, six) hours later, I wheeled into the driveway, thinking, dumb, dumb, dumb. It wasn't all Google's fault. For a while I followed the Green River trail upstream when I knew my destination was coastal not glacier. And the headwind didn't help.
