I'm the big dreamer shoot for the stars type, but my poor beat and busted up old body is an issue to contend with. I suspect that the more I ride the healthier I will become,or at least I hope so. For the few little local rides I've done so far, I've only had a destination in mind once, and I used my phone GPS to help me get to the trail, and to check stats and such. I've considered getting a Garmin GPS (not computer) so that I have a dedicated, more rugged, and waterproof unit, but that's a lot of money, and I consider it a non-essential right now. Otherwise I've almost got my bike all setup and rigged, and my camping supplies too.
