Strava

I've been using Garmin Connect to track my rides and training for the last few years, but just discovered Strava and am going to start using it, too. It seems pretty cool, not only does it track all your stats, but it also lets you compare yourself to other riders on ride segments like climbs. I uploaded some rides to it today from my Garmin and turns out I already am #1 on a few nice climbs. That's fun to see.

Today Richard and I went exploring to find the Cypresswood Improper trails. We ride the real Cypresswood quite frequently but have never ridden these trails. We rode from the house and tried to find a decent road route to the trails. Some roads were good, some were sketchy but we didn't have any close calls or anything so that's good. The trails were decent, would probably be a lot better if we really knew how to get around them and link them up well to hit the good sections. I'm sure we'll be back.

Other than that ride we just chilled around the house all day. Raine and I both woke up feeling pretty bad with a headache, sore stomach, etc. No fun. Hope it's nothing and we're better tomorrow.
