First two-hour ride of the spring

It was just so nice today, I had to get a decent ride in. Took 2 hours but had a great time and saw I think 5 other cyclists out today.

I tried iMapMyRide on the iPhone for the first time and wasn’t impressed. It’s too early to judge…I’ll give it a few more tries, but it completely lost the GPS location for most of the ride. Good thing my Garmin worked like a champ.

Loaded the Garmin GPX file onto MapMyRide though so here is the route I took today: http://www.mapmyride.com/ride/united-states/mn/big-lake/156126800796553116

For a free service, it’s pretty nice, but a little quirky and not too polished but I’ll stay with it for a while and see how that goes as well.

The Trek 2.3 has some shifting issues with the rear sprocket…Wants to always jump two gears instead of one. I’ll have to take it back to the LBS and have it adjusted since I don’t really know what I’m doing and the bike is still pretty new.

Man that two hour ride took a lot out of me. I have a lot of work to do if I’m going to complete some distance rides next month.
