Write down starting time in notebook. Write down finishing time in
notebook. Go to Google Maps, ask for directions along your chosen
route. Write down distance.

Apply third-grade math.

Asking for BICYCLING directions on Google Maps can often have you riding WAY out of your way if you follow them. When I use Google Maps to calculate the distance on a planned ride I right click on the map at where I'm starting from and then add markers at various points alone the route I plan to ride. Otherwise I find that Google Maps will often deviate from the shortest route to take a route that uses a rail-trail or other off-road facility and those deviations can add many miles to a route.

In places like New York you had damn well better follow those Rails to Trails routes if you don't want to be run over.
