Hey everyone. I pitched this app for your phone that you can use to log and track all your rides. I find it really useful and you can add your friends/teammates as well in order to see how you compare. Also, if you go to "Strava Heat Map" (google it) you can see where people in your area are riding. This can give you tips on which roads are more "bike friendly" than others. You can add me on Strava if you like. www.strava.com/athletes/633575Ride safe! -Cory

Self-contained Bicycle Travel Tips As the big day approaches, make sure you:
Make final purchases of clothing and equipment. Make certain that all repairs and maintenance, including lubrication, are made on your bike. Buy an extra pair of glasses, or contacts, and get a copy of your prescription. Continue your training rides, working up to 50- to 70-mile day rides on weekends. (You might try for a century -- 100 miles in a day -- if you're taking a trip of more than three weeks.) Seek out hills and varied terrain, attempting to simulate the type of riding you'll encounter on your tour, and do some rides with fully loaded packs to test for proper weight distribution. Make arrangements for paying any monthly bills coming due during your absence. Make sure you have used all your equipment and know how it works. Make all final adjustments to your bike. Continue training rides; try to do at least one overnight "shakedown" trip with a fully loaded bike. It's better to discover and take care of problems before your tour begins. Pack your bike in a reinforced box and ship it, if it's not traveling with you. Pick up your travel tickets. Buy traveler's checks for emergency and spending money. Fill medical prescriptions to last longer than your trip. Cancel your newspaper delivery (don't tell them when you plan to return). Change mail delivery or have mail held at the post office.
