Commuting with Carl
Today I took Carl for a checkup at Children's Hospital today. The doctor is 9.25 miles from our house and the terrain is rather flat. I tracked the ride using Strava on my smartphone. You can view it here. We rode the tandem. I picked Carl up from school and we flew down 24th street. With a 7% downgrade I am riding the brakes the whole way. After that the only noteworthy spots are a few intersections and railroad tracks.
I told Carl there was one slight uphill during the ride. He laughed when he saw the garage entrance at Children's. It is 6-7% for about a tenth of a mile. The funnest part is the valet parking at the TOP of the drive! I may recommend they move that to the bottom for valet drop off, and leave the pick-up at the top. Now that would be great.

Wow, that's awesome to look at on a map. You didn't give the doctor's prognosis, but I won't try to read into that. Don't hold your breath that I will post a ride to Strava any day soon. Cool app, though!
