I had a longer than planned ride yesterday. I mapped out a 20 mile route using strava, but I don't actually use any apps as I ride because my handlebar phone bracket thingy broke recently so I was planning to go off of memory. Only three turns so it should have been easy.

Well, I got lost, which ended up adding 7 miles onto my ride. 20 miles would have been the furthest I have ridden, so 27 was 10 miles more than I had ever gone previously! It was tough, especially since I did not bring food and it was really windy out, but I made it. The best thing is that my tush was not feeling too bad. I guess my new Specialized Oura might work out after all.

Anyways, this was just one more reason for me to "invest" in the new Garmin 920xt. I currently use the Polar RCX5 and although it has GPS it doesn't give directions or show maps. Ugh. I'm trying to hold off on buying it until I meet my weight loss goal (16 pounds to go!).
