Is it true what they say, that in cycling it is when you become a man? :p

A century man. Some go on to become double century men or women. Not I. Double metric is enough.

Oh cool! No, I didn't see you out there,though. Maybe next time.:D

Tour de Palm Springs next?

Nice! looks like there's yet another bad ass in the midst.

Good luck with motion based. I got todays ride uploaded, but I haven't been able to view anything other than the overview screens.

MotionBased is killing me!!! I now have my ride uploaded (after several tries), but it will not go to my inbox for some reason

We could have a whole thread on motion based issues. Hopefully it's still just processing. It took about 20 minutes for it to process my 50 mile ride today.

Good stuff! Congrats!

Congrats Gretzky. As others have said, that is sure a good time.

MotionBased is sure temperamental. Have you considered SportTracks?

Good stuff! Congrats!

Voltman, how was Mr Serious?

Thanks Thomson!! Does it work with Mac?

Voltman, how was Mr Serious?

I'm pondering having the second half soon. And the chicken tortilla soup was great.

Congrats, great stuff!! Nice early start to a good year!

I'm thinking about Palm Springs, too. Heard it's a ton of people participating.

The regular burrito filled me up beautifully. No idea how anyone could eat a Mr. Serious.

Thanks magicant!!! :beer:
Yeah, I am thinking seriously about doing that one, as it looks like an awesome ride!!

No Palm Springs! It's packed! Do Borrego instead!

Well done Gretz!

I am sure it will be fun! Talk about packed, I did this past Long Beach marathon, and it took us 20 minutes to get going fast enough to click in :eek:

Well done Gretz!
Thanks CJ!!! :beer:

I like packed rides. It keeps the pace slower in the beginning, so I don't overdo it. Then after 5 or so miles, it opens up and there are a myriad of people to pace behind :) Plus, there's a lot more bike porn.

Thanks Thomson!! Does it work with Mac?


Ohhh doesn't look like it. And now that he is using the .Net framework, until someone creates a framework for the mac, it isn't going to happen (someone may have already created one for the mac, I just don't know).

I am probably just going to start using it and bypassing MotionBased entirely. I don't know if MotionBased is just going through growing pains handling all the new users or if there are fundamental problems. Time will tell.

Here is SportTracks web site. I don't know much about their product yet, awiner does.

Ahhh...our little Gretzky is no longer a virgin! Good for you and keep it up! :beer: You should feel very proud of yourself. Oh, and great pic of your Garmin. :D

Thanks Mary!!! :beer:
