I was on a ride today and just after I started the battery in my
computer died. I went to mapmyride.com and got an approximate distance
for the following but I was wondering if anyone had the exact distance
from:
Going south on the Fox River Trail you get off at the sign indicating
Silver Glen/Randall Trails (starting point). You exit the FRT and loop
around 31, cross it, take Silver Glen to Randall, Randall south to the
Leroy Oaks FP and you end up at the trail head for the Great Western
Trail (ending point).
Thanks,

Once you reached Leroy Oaks did you stay on the path or take the
driveway/road to cross Dean Street? It makes a difference.

If <http://mapmyride.com > works anything like gmaps pedometer
<http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/ >, you probably got fairly accurate numbers,
esp if you zoomed way in.
Gmap-pedometer really likes a broadband connection -- it's death on dialup.
It is a little more browser-nondenominational than mapmyride and it can map
paths from the satellite view, so you're not limited to street maps (dunno
if that's true of map my ride or not).
Sorry, but i don't have the exact distance for that stretch of FRT. When
you get it, post a map and mileage.

Bob is right.
My suggestion is replace the battery.

Any answer you are likely to get will probably be no more accurate
than the figure you got from that website.
