I managed to do 4 gaps instead of only 3 gaps. I had only ridden once in the last 8 days due to inclement weather so decided to do the gaps. Not smart I know but so what, I have been making some stupid choices lately so why not make another one. After the first gap I felt good and coasted down the other side of the mountain to head to the second gap. Well in a split second decision as I was doing about 40mph I decided that I would not take the turn to do the 3 gap loop but go to the bottom of the seven mile down hill and go right back up. I figured if I were going to do 4, this was the best and really the only way to do it. If I did an extra gap it would add 20 miles and almost twice the altitude of the ride. I did it, I am pleased and feel really good. Maybe taking the week off really helped. Total ride was 50.2 miles and took 3:30 to complete.
I really cool feature that I purchased is an Iphone, what I great computer and will not go into that for I will go forever. I downloaded a program on my phone for $5.99. It gives altitude, speed, avg speed, graphs of my ride, keeps the history of my ride, keeps the map of the ride etc. It does everything a $500 GPS system does but for a fraction of the price. There are few programs like the one I downloaded that are the same price or more that you may be able to download on other smart phones, not sure. I downloaded Pro Cyctastic. Check out the Ap stores, some really cool programs. I am going to love this to see how I do on each ride and compare my progress. Its awesome.
