It was only 1:16 and just over 16 miles long, but it felt good. I made my way from home over to River Bends Park in Shelby Township, then headed down the foot \/ bike trail through the woods. This is a 2.5 mile winding trail with some nice hills, sharp turns, and interesting things to look at. I found that the tires I have are pretty okay for this sort of trail riding, except on parts of the path. Oh, and I also found that moving quickly through a swarm of bugs while breathing heavily through one&#8217;s mouth is not particularly pleasant.<\/p>\n<p>Since I&#8217;m uncomfortably stinky, and because I finally stopped at Trader Joe&#8217;s on the way home and purchased more deodorant (I&#8217;ve been out for a week), I think I&#8217;ll go shower. Oh, and <a href=\"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/2008\/04\/22\/tyan-transport-gx28-b2882\/\">my new server<\/a> was actually delivered today, so I think I&#8217;ll unpack it and grab photos of it post shower. I also might try a new (to me) <a href=\"http:\/\/www.southerntierbrewing.com\">Southern Tier<\/a> beer called Back Burner, but I&#8217;m not sure&#8230; Maybe I&#8217;ll just let that wait for tomorrow. I&#8217;ve already got enough things I still want to get done tonight.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, want the KMZ of today&#8217;s ride? It&#8217;s here: <a href=\"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/files\/gps\/24-Apr-2008.kmz\">24-Apr-2008.kmz<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps?f=q&#038;hl=en&#038;geocode=&#038;q=http:%2F%2Fnuxx.net%2Ffiles%2Fgps%2F24-Apr-2008.kmz&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;t=h&#038;z=13\">here it is in Google Maps<\/a>. Please excuse the two tracks. Google Earth can&#8217;t merge tracks (I imagine there is a good reason for this), my GPS decreased the resolution when saving the current log to a file, and it seems that multiple Active Logs had to be created to deal with the number of points I was generating today. Oh, yeah, I decided to try doing one-per-second points which, as you can see, has resulted in a much smoother route plot. It&#8217;s too bad this relatively short ride filled 49% of the memory on the GPS. Maybe I really do need an SD based GPS data logger&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I actually managed to leave work early enough today that I was able to go for a nice bike ride after work.
