YTD on the NCT

170 flesh-powered miles in the last 4 months; 90 on foot and 80 on a bike
 

Route shown is an approximation, if you found the shortest point-to-point route on foot, which Google says is 110 miles.


Perspective is everything. Here's the same route:




This fictional route below is around 2,500 miles. If you walked 3 mph without ever stopping, you'd finish in a little over a month. Or, you could cover 75 miles / day on a bike and you'd finish in about the same time.


Motivation for early retirement I suppose...

Again, a God-eyed-view:
