2009 Ride #31

Not a fan of the new Garmin Connect over Motionbased.com; on Motionbased, there was a link so that I could view a larger version of a ride map on Google maps, but this feature is not available in Garmin Connect, and I can’t figure out how to export the route information into another format that [...]

Was it a sign?

Not very impressive, I know, but the Garmin battery crapped out in Cotton Bottom … and since I felt like complete poop, I wondered if the GPS was telling me to stop and get a garlic burger.

I didn’t succumb to the urge, for two reasons … one, I was trying to get in [...]

It’s a start …

Commute

Commuted by bike today.

I know … shocking!!!

Learned (or remembered) a few things along the way as well.
