WHAT I LEARNED
Favorite Apps• Strava – easy to read, easy to start, great information, tempting to upgrade
• Cyclemeter – usually keeps running, even if climbing info is not good, paid app
Simplicity Works• Cyclocomputer – old, simple, reliable
• Climate Ride – simple chart of mileage goals for each week
Social Engagement Motivates Climate Ride – persuaded to do it by following Roz Savage on blog then
Strava – encourages by using Bike Club affiliations, giving Kudos
There’s More To Track Cadence, Heart Rate, Power, Breathing, Video
Bluetooth and ANT+ devices
