Cyclist bikes 125 miles to create the cutest of map goats

What, how else do you spend your Sundays?

Try to name something more than riding 125 miles in the shape of a goat. Go ahead, try.

As Ben Jones, one of the Australian cyclists who completed the 8-hour goat trek put it, "It was just a fun way to spend a Sunday," according to ABC Perth.

Have I been doing fun wrong all along?

Jones is part of an amateur cycling team called Fight Club, a Perth-based group that's already planning their next masterpiece: "a quokka or a numbat or some other iconic West Australian animal."

The goat route was planned and drawn in Strava, an app for runners and cyclists that tracks progress and shares results online.

Users discovered that, with the right planning and execution, they could manipulate their routes into drawings and words.

People have used Strava art to create promposals, marriage proposals and also drawings of goats that take 8 hours and meticulous planning.

As for the goat, Jones has said that Fight Club is "hoping that a few other people will have a crack at it and, in the spirit of Strava, try and do it faster than we did it."

If you ever needed motivation to get training, that goat's grinning face should be challenge enough.
