03/10/10 9:22 PMWow! For anyone who needs bike tuning, I have found an AWESOME service here in Orange County. I want to give Green Gear Bicycle Services a much deserved shout out. Green Gear Bicycle services will pick up and drop off your bike at your front door for most OC addresses. Now that’s convenience, but if you’re not comfortable with that arrangement, you can drop off and pick up your expertly tuned bike in a very short turnaround time, even same day service! As you may know that most OC boutique bike shops required you have an appointment, and when it’s finally returned to you it’s typically not cleaner then when you dropped it off. Green Gear returned my bike squeaky clean like showroom condition. I am extremely impressed with the quality of their service, attention to detail and expert advice. When I got my bike back it looked like new and rode like a champ at better then boutique prices. Green Gear is operated by a genuine bike enthusiast. Call Marco at 949-371-3795

03/10/10 7:47 AMChrisB, after I upload the gps information to Mapsource and create a gpx file, I edit the gpx file using the "cut" feature. I cut out the "teleportation" section. I then need to save each route separately. I keep the original gpx file until I'm sure the routes are split correctly.

03/10/10 6:33 AMIs there a way to split a ride up into 2 routes? Accidently forgot to reset my garmin after one ride and then did another ride? So it has me teleporting from one location to another (like a 60 mile teleportation).

03/08/10 12:56 PMLooks like the rain has finally stopped and the weather is going to be ideal for awhile at least. I'm going to have to attach a mower to the back of my rascal to trim down all of the green vegetation out there. Thanks to those of you who have tried to stick to national forest trails and trails which handle the rain more than those which don't. Thanks to those of you who have done trail work, and a special thanks to those of you who have or will decide to do trail work this year. We all want to enjoy the trails, and want to have access to as many trails as possible. In order to accomplish that, we must ride according to the IMBA code of ethics and be respectful of the environment and other users (i.e. hikers and equestrians). Good luck to those of you who are riding Vision Quest or Counting Coup. It looks like the weather is going to be wonderful for those events; I hope you all complete those events safely and achieve personal bests.

So $100.00 to him and pay the $25 transfer fee and it’s up for grabs. All transfers have to be done before the end of the week so it’s first come first serve.

You must then mail me a money order (no personal checks) in the amount of $25.00 made out to either the Freedom Alliance Scholarship Fund or to the UCLA Foundation. You must also include with that money order the event application filled out and signed by the person who is taking your place. I've attached the application to this email. Mail the money order and filled out application to: The Warrior's Society 11278 Roanoke Court Cypress, Calif. 90630 Once the application and money order is received I will notify you that the change has been made.

02/27/10 9:47 AM*** CC ticket-holder-peeps: I'm offering to pay you DOUBLE what you paid for your Counting Coup entry ticket. *** Hey, if any of you CC-entry-ticket-holders is "sitting on the fence" about going forward with this year's CC race.....or for whatever unfortunate reason is realizing now that they won't be able to compete this year: I'm ready, willing, and offering to pay you TWICE what you paid for your ticket. I think the math is $85 x 2 = $170 I'll put in your pocket for your ticket. I'm one of the many that got "shut out" of the sign-up period....but I've been cc-race-training for the last four months anyway, hoping to get a shot at it. Believe me, I understand that "letting one of these tickets go" is probably a tough thing to do, but if you are realizing that you have to --- let me at least offer to double your money back on it. Much thanks, and good luck to all the CC and VQ riders! (may I be one of them!) Contact me at mike.torpey@gmail.com or phone 248-506-0811 -- peace!!!

02/26/10 5:59 PMDon't worry Jeff, Mud Baths date back to the dawn of time, being associated not only with complete relaxation, but also with many other benefits such as: promoting a youthful complexion; detoxifying the skin; easing muscle tension; alleviating inflammation; and soothing arthritis-related joint pains.LOL! :-) Joking aside I prerode it & there were some puddles & mud already, but it was rideable. Last downhill section had the most moisture & some slippery stretches of thicker mud. If it rains more I think there will definately be some pretty sticky spots here & there, but adds to the fun! See ya at the race!:-)

02/23/10 6:15 PMtweasol: you need software (GL) to calculate it from the track. With GPS you're always moving so calling something a pause means going under a minimum speed. (305 Manual says auto-pause data is not stored in history file so it's not worth turning on)

02/15/10 7:54 PMThanks for the advice guys. I uploaded Sporttracks and got my gpx OK but I'll take DaddyHC's advice and give the lap thing a go.
DaddyHC
Prescott Valley
02/15/10 7:04 PMKeith B: I make it a habit to press the 'lap' button on my Edge 305 within about 50 feet of starting each ride. That causes an entry to be made in the 'history' memory. Otherwise, when there is no history entry and the Edge unexpectedly does an rso (random shutoff) and I turn the Edge back on, usually most programs will not see the data before the rso. Those programs will only see the data after the 2nd turn on (if there are no more rso), because eventually when you press the 'stop' button a history entry is made and only the data after the last rso is saved. A history entry is normally made or added to when either the 'lap' button is pressed or the 'stop' button is pressed. Try this experiment: start a ride and then scroll to the history section and you will see there is no history entry. There is data in what I'll call current memory, and that data isn't saved until a history entry is created..

Staff02/14/10 7:13 PMSydney, when starting a ride on an existing route you must be within about 100ft. of where the original route was started. Note, when viewing the playback, if you click directly on the orange route it will restart the playback from that point (i.e. syncing all moving dots).
