Maps

Today I am resting. Yesterday afternoon I was planning to go for a bike ride with the easiest group and went with the hardest, after it was recommended that I do this. The result is that today I feel fine, but I’m still taking a rest day. Tomorrow I will have a physical 89 km ride with one thousand six hundred meters of climbing. I expect to be tired during the second climb.

When I was a child we had paper maps. These maps had to be studied and read to make navigating simpler. You had to know that you would drive from A to B to C to D and so forth. In the age of Google Maps, before phone navigation we had to print out the driving instructions for the entire trip. From A go to B via this road, and that motorway.
