Long (at least for me) bike ride

Took a long trip down to Santa Clara today. I was actually going to try to join a biking group, but I got lost and failed to make the meeting point. I also learned first hand what makes our cities not the most bike friendly places in the world: I was casually biking along a suburban street with a nice bike lane, but in a mere 3 blocks (and no clear markings), I found myself on a freeway! It was a pretty adrenaline filled 1/4 mile to get to the exit!

My route (more or less)

Wow! That's quite the marathon of a bike ride!

I feel your pain.

And never move to Maryland.

Their definition of a "bike lane" is a five-lane freeway with no shoulder.
