About the Strava Doodle
To create this doodle, I cycled around 50 kilometres. The vast majority of the lettering follows actual roads in Victoria, BC, as does more than half of the maple leaf’s outline. For the remainder, I had to “connect the dots” by turning my Garmin OFF and ON at carefully planned points.
