| idea, we should make a "feel good" website similar to

| driven and the drivers with the highest scores. Even Ad companies
| at some point would be interested in showing ads every few kms
| which can be circumvented by a paid sub

| Over a decade of commitment to the task itself, diligent blogging
| of the whole experience, and a website design that brings me back
| to my favorite time on the web. Beautiful.

| Wandrer [0] is a good site if you want to do something like this
| in your own town. It integrates with Strava and automatically
| imports your walks/rides and tracks your progress on the map,
| which lets you see where you've been and what streets you still
| need to conquer.
|
| It doesn't have any routing features, so you'll still have to
| plan your own routes, but it is pretty mobile friendly.
