25 Miler After Work
Same route as before…
RunKeeper is a Winner
Did a ride after work last night and used the iphone app RunKeeper to chart it. I am so happy with the results – of both the ride and the app. The weather was as good as it gets and the interface to the app was better.
TrailGuru. FAIL!
I wanted to post my ride from tonight after work, but since I received a text 3 miles into my ride, trailguru decided not to record anymore. Time to invest in a new gadget that will record my rides without complaining! I am leaning towards a garmin something or other.
UPDATE:
Since I wont be getting a garmin anytime soon I am going to be using another iphone app. I am going to give RunKeeper a whirl and see if it does the trick. I think that a handle bar mount for the iphone will help too, but i am scared to death of that.
Saturday’s Ride to the Farm
This past Saturday, I rode out to Joe’s Farm Grill and The Coffee Shop to meet my family for lunch. I couldn’t have asked for better weather, but I did ask for better drivers. I actually had a scare when a dumpster fell off a guys truck and rolled into the road. Luckily for me it rolled into the median and not into the bike lane.
The ride ended up being 33 miles and I did it in 1hr 45mins. I am actually pretty happy with this result, must have been the coffee I had afterwards.

It was so much fun that I am doing another night ride tonight after work. hoping to get 40miles (cross my fingers). Below is the tally for yesterday…
Ride to work: 4.8 miles
Work to home: 4.8 miles
Night ride with Derek: 22.8 miles
My 300 miles in 30 days tally so far (started 12/31/09):
Short & Sweet (and Cold & Dark)
Natassia took a late nap on Saturday after we ran around town, so i decided to head off for a quick ride. I planned it doing a longer route but didn’t get out the door until 5pm. I also thought it was not going to get as cold as it did once the sun hide behind the mountains. Next time I will remember my light and my gilet! Yeah I said gilet, what you going to do about it.
Ride to Fountain Hills From Home
Went for a somewhat nice ride on New Year’s eve, It was windy and false flat (headwind) on the way out which made the way back a lot more fun. The elevation chart is backwards – I didn’t start recording the ride untill I was half way done.
