And sometimes inaccurate, or overly long. :P

Case in point: Getting to the PRO Sports Club from my house. I'm going there this afternoon for my orientation appointment, and I was researching how to get there.

Going by the shortest distance (the option I'd normally choose when planning a cycling route), it goes like this:

Total distance: 1 mi
Estimated time: 3 Minutes


  1. Depart NE 40th St (west) (0.6 mi)

  2. Turn RIGHT (north) onto 148th Ave NE (0.3 mi)

  3. Turn LEFT (west) onto NE 44th Pl, and then immediately turn LEFT (south) onto 148th Ave NE (0.1 mi)

  4. Arrive at 4455 148th Avenue N.E., Bellevue, WA 98007



But when choosing shortest time (the option that'd make more sense for cars), it goes like this:

Total distance: 1.6 mi
Estimated time: 3 Minutes


  1. Depart NE 40th St (west) (0.2 mi)

  2. Turn RIGHT (north) onto ramp toward Wa-520 East (0.6 mi)

  3. Turn LEFT (west) onto NE 51st St (0.3 mi)

  4. Turn LEFT (south) onto 148th Ave NE (0.4 mi)

  5. Arrive at 4455 148th Avenue N.E., Bellevue, WA 98007



There are some other similarly funny/long routes, including some scenic drives/cycle rides to Maple Valley (which is towards the south of Washington state). I might or might not decide to try one of those, but if I do, I'm definitely going to tell someone where I'm going. ^^;;;

I hope I don't end up picking you up from Maple Valley, whereever that is. Sounds far. :p

It's the place where I showed you the $800 piano which I would love to get, but..., beyond Issaquah :P
