pretty accurate, although you would have been technically in Calgary about 20 or 30 miles before it says you have "Arrived"

what do you want for lunch? i'll buy :D

Many guys have no riding buddies and have no ideas where to ride their bike. I can offer my services by charging other people to ride with me, I will charge $50 an hour up to 4 people at a time, if there are 4 people that ride with me each only pays me $12.50. I will take them on a mystery tour where they have no idea where we are going untill we get there, we will stop at historic sites where i will be informed to explain that site, we will stop for lunch at an outta the way place, and I will stress saftey and offer safe riding tips. And the pleasure of riding with me will make the time an enjoyable experience.
This guy might be onto something...

either way will work for me. im taking it easy anyway since the roads are going to be new to me.

intersection of sepulveda and chatsworth is pretty close to me.
