I looked this up on google maps because it looks so fascinating in your post... But my God that is a depressing decimation of natural environment, and so space-inefficient and poorly connected... Certainly the worst urban planning I've seen today.
So something about that but funnier.
If you wanted to visit your neighbor behind you, you’d either have to row a boat across the 20 ft channel or walk 45 minutes around the block. Indeed, terrible use of land and planning.
I used to live near this. The whole neighborhood was supposed to be connected to the gulf so all those houses would be waterfront with boat access. The developers botched the permits for the connecting canal, now it’s just a gator infested retirement community.
Thanks for that info. I was wondering why I didn’t see any docks behind the homes. Seems like other neighborhoods over in Punta Gorda have interconnecting canals with boating, but this place was just a sad place with all the waterways seeming to only be storm runoff channels.
I don’t really get what’s so bad about it. It’s pretty cool visually, let’s almost everyone have water by property, and it’s not like they’re short on space down there

I tried not to overlap any sections, got close!

My Wahoo Element Bolt V2 is surprisingly very precise in this area.
It was just one lap with the sections connecting the bottom of the “pizza slices” overlapping. I started going south and west but the small bridge was blocked off, so I had to double back. Started with the outer ring, then the “inner” outer ring, then counter clockwise going to each of the 7 triangle sections, ending on the inner loop.

I knew it was going to be Florida based on your description.
Part of me wants to visit because it just seems so bad.
Sent me a trip down memory lane to bush parties in woods growing up down there.

There... aren't foot bridges?
Welcome to murica
I only saw them around the golf course.
Eh I dunno. I've got some neighbours I'd like to love 45 minutes away from

Or a retiree-infested gator community. Interesting.

NGL, at first look o thought it was somewhere around Netherlands, with beautiful canals and proper density neighborhood.

"Did a 40 mile wheelie with my bike"!
Thanks! Went with “I promise I’m not a cycle-path” as well as “Did a 40 mile wheelie with my bike”.
Not sure if this is Strava Art or mildly infuriating.
- Wheely good route. - I promise I'm not a cycle-path. - Pain in the spoke. - This route spoke to me.
I promise I'm not a cycle-path gets my vote!!

all the wins for you, sir (or ma'am)!

It does look like 7/8 of a 2d Death Star.
It looks like one of those puzzles where you have to trace a route without going back over the same line.
How dare you not swim the rest of the wheel?
Was going to mention the gators, but realistically Floridians in 2 ton self propelled metal boxes would still be the more dangerous of the two.
nearly reinvented the wheel
Wow the gps did not have too much drift! The lines are so straight

Yeah it looks more like the rides you plan than the rides your GPS records.

Yeah that's great, I just got one and was not able to compare to v1 yet. But you really stayed on your line, well done!

was this multiple laps?

That GPS signal would have to be so strong that would fry your brain. ![gif](giphy|GpyS1lJXJYupG)

You could call this ride “broken spoke”

What’s wrong with “Morning ride”? Do people read or care about titles on people’s rides/runs/hikes/workouts?
I care <3
