Introductions - Hello

Bikeforums.net is a forum about nothing but bikes. Our community can help you find information about hard-to-find and localized information like bicycle tours, specialties like where in your area to have your recumbent bike serviced, or what are the best bicycle tires and seats for the activities you use your bike for.

My name is Kevin and I'm new to BikeForums.net -- I'm actually new to cycling but I'm learning a lot and am prepping to hopefully do my first tri this fall.

I started MapMyRun.com (http://www.mapmyrun.com) about 2 1/2 years ago and back in February I started MapMyRide.com (http://www.mapmyride.com) for cyclists -- you can plot your cycling routes on maps, view elevation profiles, build cue-sheets, and do some cool auto-routing stuff.

It's been a crazy ride (no pun intended :) as our cycling community has grown and has helped me develop the site into what is it today -- As I'm exploring this site I invite you to take a look at mine. I'm trying to make the site for cyclists by cyclists so I welcome all suggestions, feedback, criticisms, etc!

Cheers,

Hello Kevin, I did some dinking around on your site--it seems to be quite easy to use, always good for someone like me :D .

What kind of bike have you got, and where are you located?

Welcome to BF!

Kevin, welcome to the forums! I got your email, we're just drawing straws to see who will contact you, as we're in a bit of transition here.

Welcome. I found out about your site recently from the forums, a few rides have been linked from here. Very nice.

I love mapmyride, simply awesome functionality with the snapping to roads (though it sometimes snaps a circituous route to the point clicked requiring lots of undos and careful plotting) and the distance calculations. Very very nice.

I am new to cycling. I was impressed to see that it calculated my 14.2 mile ride in 50 minutes as buring 783 calories. Sweet, I can eat even more now! :)

It would be sweet if we could generate a cue sheet from the route we mapped.
