Elevation Profile
Here is an elevation profile of my ride on Sunday. I used GPS Visualizer to create this. If you are doing any mapping for a GPS unit I encourage you to check out the fine work that Adam Schneider has done on his site. The only other GPS app I am using is MacGPS Pro to pull the GPS data from my Garmin Vista...

Okay, I think I have finally figured out the best settings for the Garmin Vista Cx. I ended up setting the Tracks settings to Record Method = Auto and Interval = Most Often. This turns out to be just about perfect for what I am tracking. On today’s ride I stopped just long enough to create a new track file and clear out the old. What this allowed me to do when I converted them to a Google Earth KLM file was add some color. I hope in the near future to just record the entire ride as one track then after I am done save each part of it as a different track. I will have to play around...

Today I did some more testing with the new eTrex Vista Cx. I changed the device to capture a position every 0.06 of a mile. Yesterday I had it on automatic. Auto was much better to get a more accurate path. This path is not accurate since it takes a position check too far apart. 0.06 left out half of the trial.

I forgot to reset the distance counter. My best guess is about 10 miles. I...

Today I had one of those crashes that you panic for about 4 seconds after you wreck. During those 4 seconds of panic and don’t want to move because you think you have broken something for sure. Then you finally move and realize that you are okay. I won’t go into details how I wrecked becuse it was a complete bone head move. But, when I fell over the handle bar one side of the handle bar planed on the ground. Then my chest planted on the other end of the bar. I was sure I broke a rib in my chest it hurt so bad. It hurt like hell! I got up and started riding again and had to...
