First Bike Ride With GPS

Ok, I have to say, the GPS receiver is pretty awesome. It works right out of the box. It only needed to be charged for 2 hours before first use and when I plugged it into the computer after my ride today, everything worked the first time…rare. Anyway, one of the coolest parts of using the Garmin Forerunner 201 GPS receiver is that I can upload data to Motion Based so that I can compare rides, split times, see the ride on topographic maps, satellite maps, street maps and a whole lot more. Anyway, you can check out the ride I did today in the howling summer winds here in SF. I have to say, today was really windy here, which always makes for good times on the bike. Here is the link to my ride on Motion Based and I would recommend you install the Adobe SVG Viewer (they have a link to it) so that you can check out satellite maps and full motion maps of the ride. Pretty slick.

    I ride with the garmin GPS too, it’s awesome. I like being able to track your rides with Google Earth.
