Week 5 in Review (April 4 – April 10)

Well, I have reverted back to just one miscellaneous ride per week.  Worst yet, this one lone 4 mile bike ride was the only time I biked ALL week.  There were several factors that contributed to this though. First, and most importantly it was rainy and 40 degrees I’d say 4 out of the 5 weekdays.  Second, I wasn’t in town for the weekend.  I’ve already biked 6x this amount this week and it’s only Tuesday!

Routes	Miles	Minutes	Speed	Calories Burned
1	3.73	16	14.4	180

I’ve now biked through 6.35% of Philadelphia!  Not a big increase at all from the week before.   

Additionally, after creating the neighborhood map I have an initial neighborhood analysis.  Below is a map of all the neighborhoods I’ve visited over the past five weeks along with the top ten neighborhood coverage.  I’m still working out the kinks, I’d eventually like to combine these two things (the map and the chart) but ArcGIS is being very uncooperative right now and therefore wasting my time.  So maybe next week. 

Rank	Neighborhood Name	Total Area (sq. mi.)	Area Biked (sq. mi.)	Percent of Neighborhood

7	Graduate Hospital	0.5118	0.2867	56.0%

9	FDR Park	0.5308	0.2804	52.8%
10	Bella Vista	0.1546	0.0815	52.7%

I find it really fascinating that I’ve covered 6 other neighborhoods more than my home neighborhood, Graduate Hospital.
