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.

FAIL! http://mattsaling.com/2010/02/17/trailguru-fail/ http://mattsaling.com/2010/02/17/trailguru-fail/#comments Thu, 18 Feb 2010 04:03:44 +0000 admin http://mattsaling.com/?p=212 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.

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.

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.

The elevation chart is backwards – I didn’t start recording the ride untill I was half way done.
