Bike for your Ice Cream

Went out biking with Kevin today, to Maple View Farms. All road riding, unusually for me, but also probably the farthest I've ever gone at 17.8mi round trip. Route here: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=4143509 . We were feeling those hills at the end, which is no surprise ( Read more... )

<333 Maple View Farms. It's so nice to have this ice cream break with rocking chairs and a porch in the middle of your ride. (Pumpkin spice sounds like an amazing flavor too.)

Indeed! It was a little cool yesterday, but at least the drizzly rain had stopped before we went out, and we even got some sun towards the end. I have a nice hot-weather biking/exercise shirt I got from target for cheap, but I could use something better for cool weather. Ended up wearing some layers over the light shirt topped with my orange rain-jacket for combination visibility and wind-breaking. Worked okay, but I could use something nicer. The custom-purpose stuff seems to be pretty not-cheap though.

Yeah, we're on the 200MB/month cell data cap for affordability, so after getting my new phone recently I've been watching the usage closely (fortunately there's a resettable built-in meter). I quickly noticed that unrestrained gmaps blows through data much faster than anything else I'm likely to do outside of Wifi range, so I went googling for tips and happened upon the bookmark gambit. Seems to work reasonably, though obviously there's a max on what it will cache, and you don't have direct control ( ... )
