With starting to ride bike to work this week, I thought it be cool to have a way to track my commutes. First thing I thought was to check the iphone.
Found an app called mapmyride+ for $3. It worked to track my speed, time, and mapped my entire route to track and share. There is a whole online
community and an entire store full of wireless accessories from heart monitors to bike mounts and speedos. Tracked my ride home today. 4.3miles in
23minutes, with a 23mph head wind most of the ride. Its gonna be a great summer seeing how I progress.:wee:bigkid - 9-5-2012 at 11:11 PM
I have a wrist thing that does all that also, dont use the heart monitor. Got it for use inthe bug, but use it for keeping track of my day. I have a
temdancy to forget where Im going or were Ive been. That way it helps the wife to see what Ive been up to. Haha
Yours would be funner to use.Cheddarhead - 10-5-2012 at 04:24 PM
My co-worker always uses the map-my-run app everytime he goes out jogging. Kinda interesting the drawings he makes when he's done.indigo_wolf - 10-5-2012 at 04:27 PM

Hats off to the first person that decides to use their tracks to send messages to their friends.
Sort of like land based skywriting. ;-)
Hope it doesn't say anything about me that that's the first thing I thought of.

How scary is it that I myself am picturing gps track writing. Fun for the outcome and good for your kite skills to pull off at the field.PHREERIDER - 10-5-2012 at 04:35 PM
23 mph head wind ....sounds like kite time to me.shaggs2riches - 10-5-2012 at 05:33 PM
I so want to kite. But right now there is zero places in town because of soccer and baseball season.:flaming: The lake is an hour away so not overly
up to driving there in the evening to chance not having wind. Weekend is coming.
