20-4 = 16 - a photo on Flickriver

20-4 = 16

            Thursday I cycled 61km roundtrip outbound along the Interurban Rail Trail and inbound along the Lochside Trail.
Until recently, this trail marker read 20km, that being the distance from the Johnson Street Bridge to here.
Then someone got the bright idea to measure the distance of only the Lochside Trail which starts at the Switch Bridge.
Now don't get confused here: the Switch Bridge is located at the 4km Marker along the Galloping Goose Trail measured from the Johnson Street Bridge.
Still with me?
Thus, when it was decided to renew all trail, distance posts along both trails, the new regimen was implemented.
So . . . by subtracting the first 4km of the Galloping Goose Trail from what used to be included in Lockside Trail distances, one can readily understand why and how the old 20km is now designated the 16km marker along the Lochside Trail.
Oddly enough, this mathematical wizardry applies to all Lochside Trail Marker posts, of which at last count there were eight.
