biking log book – places I have never seen #3
I am continuing to enjoy my new exercise plan – a virtual bike trip from Lusignan, France to Sanxay, France on my stationary bike. I am also biking further each session.
Progress from January 30 to February 6 (North is toward the top of the map)
I have also discovered a new tool in Google Earth, a way to ‘pin’ my progress on the map by using ‘placemarks’.
