[RC] neat google maps thing - which . chick

I've been tracking where I ride (the conditioning trails and stuff)
using Google maps -- it lets you draw your own routes on the map and
(new) now tells you how long the distances are when you plot the
lines.  While Google's maps of where I live do not have trails on 'em,
they have some very, very secondary roads (unpaved, 4WD-only) that I
do train on a lot.  Their widget also lets me draw the approximate
location of the not-a-road trails and measures those for me, too.

I don't work for Google or anything, but I thought this was quite nice
and I think others might find it helpful.  Google maps (it's free) is
here:  http://maps.google.com/

An example map (click on the drawn line to get the distance) is here:
