Today I rode the Tour de Max, almost 7000 ft in 70 miles. Booyah!

Still not Starfish Level though.

Remember two years ago - Tunitas Creek.
Remember when Nemesis was wicked hard.
Remember when you thought you'd never exceed the speed limit on the trail.

Keep on truckin' Jo.

Hee hee, you bet I did! As I was riding up Tunitas Creek Road yesterday, for only the second time ever, I was thinking back to the first time I went up it, two years ago with V and Thom.

I did much better this time. Only needed to stop for a short breather about 2/3 up. yay.

That road still sux though.

What kind of computers do you guys use to keep track of your hill climbs? I am the "weirdo" of our group ... you know ... the one who actuallly likes to climb

and I would love to keep track of things like that. Please share with me what you guys like to use! Thanks!

I use a Polar 720. I think the current model is a 725. It tracks nearly everything.

I also often ride with a GPS - Garmin 60CSx.

Thanks for the tip. I went to the Polar website to check it out and

... I guess you pay for what you get. I was a little sticker shocked at first. I'm sure once the shock sets in I'll set my heart on getting one. Thanks for the lead.

Thanks for the graph, jobob. That's fantastic! I would love to track my favorite rides like that.

Well, this is climbing related, sort of! I just got my finisher's jersey from Devil Mountain Double!!

( http://forums.teamestrogen.com/showthread.php?t=15205 ) (I never pre-order jerseys from "epic" rides - I don't want to buy something before I finish the ride. Bad karma. So it took a while for the post-ride orders to get processed.)

It has this picture on it:

And I'm wearing it now.

Sometimes, you just have to be dorky.

**Veronica** · 08-13-2007, 06:25 PM

You rock!

Scott still has my check. He's convinced that I'll finish it some day. Maybe in my next life...

**maillotpois** · 08-13-2007, 07:21 PM

yeah, I'm a dork. but it's important to be dressed appropriately to make annie's pasta for an 11 year old....who thinks I am Queen of the Dorks.

V - he can cash in your check next year. it'll be fun!

Just tell V you are committed to some ride, and then tell her she has permission to get tough. One day I will come down and we will struggle along in her wake together! LOL

I have a CicloSport CM436M that I really like (once I was able to comprehend the GEnglish instruction manual) but unfortanately it's been discontinued. Ciclosport currently doesn't seem to have an equivalent model.

One of the things I really like about it is that I can download my ride data onto my desktop computer and save epic rides for posterity
