1,000 miles!!!
That is how many miles I have ridden since I got my new bike on July 26. Using Chicago as a geographical reference point, where would I be now if I rode in a straight line?

2. Which direction?
You could be in ten thousand places from down south to well into Canada to Pennsylvania to Wyoming.

4. Dallas would be close
From Cleve it's about 1200 mi. so from your more westerly starting point...or perhaps Little Rock maybe Texarkana

7. I think I would go to Orlando over San Antonio
I can hear the announcer now:
"Congratulations, Prolesunited! You just rode 1,000 miles. What are you going to do next?"

Me:
"I'm going to Disney World!" ;-)

What about east or west?

9. Very cool calculator!
Thanks for the link. If I ride just 20 more miles tomorrow, I can be in Denver.

I really liked Denver, too. The Rockies are awesome! Now that would be a thrilling place to bike.
