Hey BB, just curious, how do you keep track of you mileage? Do you use one of those GPS units?
Recently I’ve tried the MapMyRun app but since it uses the google map engine, I’m not convinced it’s providing accurate distances (it seems its calculating high).

We mostly use Endomondo and Strava. Add me as a friend on either of those.

I use Endomondo for all and Strava just for cycling.

Yup, I use Endomondo for everything and import cycles into Strava. Really not interested in running at the moment but should do a bit I guess

Went out on my bike earlier and did 14km, quite pleased and went through some woods and lots of mud, so the bike is dirty eventually Aiming to get out every evening this week (apart from Wednesday when I have a speed awareness course.....) and then maybe do another orienteering event on Sunday, we'll see how fit I'm feeling by then

Yeap... I use mapmyrun. I can't say it's 100% accurate... most likely not... but it seems to be close enough. I've used their site to draw a route (I guess that should be closer to reality) and it was pretty much close to the actual measurements via GPS.
I also went the other day for a run with someone and she told me I don't need to start the app because she can tell me that the track has 1.2 km... After 11 laps and some meters off track the app said 13.65km... so I incline to say it may be almost accurate.

Thanks BB. Good to know .

I rode my old school bike to work yesterday and it was all right, but I can't get used to carrying all my work clothes on my back. Tomorrow the rear rack from my wrecked bike will go on this and it'll be my commuter until I figure out what to do for a new touring/commuting bike.


1994 Trek 930. The tires are 12 years old and I'm surprised they're still holding air.

The tires will hold air as long as the air chambers are OK.
Just being pedantic.
