PatsBike.com -- Route Info

The Route...
This section will contain detailed information about Pat's journey, carefully planned and plotted out literally hours before it starts. The route will include key landmarks and a precision schedule that will be rigidly ignored from the very first day. Critical points along the journey will be highlighted in red, unplanned departures will be marked in mauve, unintentional departures from the course (aka, getting lost) will be in bright red and points along the way in which Pat is actually ahead of schedule but nonetheless on track will be marked in green. However, since the web designer for this site is colour blind (oh cmon, this cannot be news to you by now...), these colours may tend towards an off-grey grey, a mismatched hue of blue and text which alternates between black and nearly-invisiable grey.

"It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best,
since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember
them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses
you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven
through as you gain by riding a bicycle."
- Ernest Hemingway

Unfortunately, the web designer is also extremely anti-social and something of a hermit, having cut off all access to the outside world long before the Internet was a gleam in Al's eye, so we're kinda stuck with him. We started to ask how, if he is so much of a hermit, he can update the website but men in black camoflauge dropped down from black, silent helicopters overhead and handed us an embossed card which was blank but would have read "Best not to ask". We understand that had we read it, they would have had to take steps and therefore, in appreciation of their not telling us and our subsequent continued mortality, we are completely okay with the colour scheme (or lack thereof) for the site. Besides, Pat would never tell us when he was off track anyway.
