map my ride.
so route slip became the beached whale that is left to die on the sands of new jersey and is looted by tourists and inuit wannabes. they sort of stopped providing support, and rolled over and lost all my routes, which was a lot of routes. thats what you get for free i guess.
anyway, they got ‘bought out’ by mapmyride and so we have to use that now. which is actually a good thing. it makes your cue sheet for you, has a decent road follower tool which allows you to delete big parts of mistakes at once, shows real time elevation, ect. the cue sheet set up is particularly nice. i tested its accuracy yesterday, and it was spot on, even giving the name and route number of a given road. this feature is super good for country roads missing signs. this feature makes it better than bikely and routeslip combined. it also allows you to add tags like water or food and provide a description, like google my maps. so i started an open group, for who ever, to add ridelugged minded routes. the URL is http://www.mapmyride.com/community/groups/833088119056
you have to sign up to the site, which is free and easier than even getting an email account from a blind chinese fortune teller.
go sign up, make a route, join the club, go ride your bike. yeah you, the one who should be training. go ride.




















So I joined up and added three routes to my profile already. AND, I’ve ridden two of them in the past four days! check it out…

so Mr. Clevertrousers here scared me when he called his ride with Damien gentle and rolling hills and I saw a climb over Porterstown road. Luckily D confirms the description is a bit misleading
