Bike Ride Map: 2023

.

Now that I have ridden all of Pearl St. and the mysterious "Beaver Ct.", I think that means I have now biked all the "city" streets of Thunder Bay, and I expect this completes my biking for 2023.

However, I don't want to give the impression that I won't continue biking in 2024. I hope to start riding more of the rural roads.

Bike Ride: Dec. 30/23

.

It turns out that this parking lot is marked as a street on Google Earth, and so I biked it today, and I think that means I have now biked all the "city" streets of Thunder Bay, and I expect this completes my biking for 2023.

However, I don't want to give the impression that I won't continue biking in 2024. I hope to start riding more of the rural roads.
