Google Earth Your Bike Trip

If you're reading this odds are you're part geek and part biker. Both attributes will be satisfied in this entry. Recently, I took a 4-leg ride from Colorado to Florida. Thanks to Google Earth you can now take the ride with me. The first thing you'll need is Google Earth. It's a free download and incredible program. It was more valuable than any map program in planning this 2,400 mile trip. Download and install it. You can use the link above. Once installed you'll find a great resource for tons of things, but I want to show you my trip. You can download each leg of the trip below. Once downloaded, you open it in Google Earth, click "route" at the bottom of one of the legs, and then click the play button. You'll drive along as if you're there. Click the directions tab at the top and you can create your own trip. It's easy and it's very cool. Here are the legs of my trip. The files are small and will download in a second or two.... literally! INSTRUCTIONS: Right click the link and use Save Target As. Save it somewhere you can remember where to find it. Open it with Google Earth. Leg One - From Castle Rock, CO to Amarillo, TX Leg Two - From Amarillo, TX to Little Rock, AR Leg Three - From Little Rock, AR to Tallahassee, FL Leg Four - From Tallahassee, FL to Wellington, FL
