Weather was great today, tried out Cyclemeter on my iPhone for the first time. I'm impressed with how well it worked. I played with it a couple days ago to be sure I knew how it worked. So today I just hit "Start", locked the display, put my phone in my pocket, finished my ride, pulled the phone out, and hit "Stop" and "Done". I had an email in my inbox containing the ride data and a nice little Facebook update was also created on me wall.

I rode for two hours and the battery life was 95%. I was expecting it to be nearly dead based on other peoples comments. I guess disabling/locking/whatever the display is all you need to do?

It had all the data I cared to see. I'm not big on crazy details and statistics. And it felt like the numbers it gave me corresponded to the actual ride. For example, I had mostly headwind on the way out, with tailwind on the way back. I was ~1 mph faster coming back even though my legs had less energy. Long story short; It seems accurate for my needs. I'm happy.
