Okay...since it's Sunday morning and I'm a Christian?...I guess a little 2 part confession is in order as follows....and so first?...

Confession Part 1: I guess if I get right down to it?...these recording/monitoring/app gizmos and gadgets are all about feeding my ego...but in a positive fashion where the ability to see progress regarding time/distance/speed might serve as a wonderful motivator for me and?...I also think it would be a good thing for me to know how many miles I'm putting on this bike so that I might come to learn things about what my body and my bike can (or can not) tolerate or achieve....for example?...I'll know the day I can say "Sure!...I'd love to participate in that 25 miles ride!" (knowing I can actually finish)...and/or?....knowing whether or not I should ride with a group that averages 18-20mph....or not....also?...stuff like how many miles I can expect to get out of a given set of tires and other bike related wear/maintenance items.

Confession Part 2: While I would like to someday get a cool GPS based unit like the Catseye Stealth 50?...a real good friend has offered to give me an older model catseye wired rig he no longer has use for that's still in fine working order and meets all my basic wants/needs...meanwhile?...I'm pretty sure I'm going to accompany that by downloading the free (or $2.99) version of mapmyride into my Galaxy S4 droid smartphone...but I'm still researching that as the main reason I'm interested in that particular app?...is "Accountability"..and again?..."Motivation"...and what I'm trying to find out is which version (Free/$2.99/M.V.P.) reports my rides too FB...as it is there that my friends will get on my butt if I start slacking...or?...pat me on the back for rides well rode...and I think that's a real cool feature so between the older wired catseye unit on the bike and the app on my smartphone?....I think I'm set for now and as a result may never get that GPS based model! LOL!

Thanks for all your feedback folks!...this is day 20 of no cigarettes...wish me luck and Ride Safe! Bill.
