I just realized that in the almost ten years since I began my project to drive/ride on all of the State Routes in New York, I had never kept track on when I drove on a particular road (I keep track of each routes’ status in a spreadsheet and highlight the driven segments in a paper atlas). Some of them I’ve driven so often that such data would be meaningless, but it is probably not a bad idea to start tracking it for those routes that I will have to go out of my way to visit. To accommodate that, I’ve updated my tracking spreadsheet to include a “Date Driven” column. I’ve also added columns in recent weeks for the length of the route in miles and what counties it passes through, which should make planning visits easier than my previous system, which loosely grouped routes into regions.
