It was a nice ride, but would have been much nicer today with temps in the mid 50's and sun. Oh well, it only took an hour for my feet to thaw. As for the map, I use another program in addition to the Garmin to track rides called Runkeeper. It uses the GPS on the phone which I always have with me anyway. But you can get very similar stuff using Garmin connect. Another option, and one that I use to plan rides, is Mapmyride which is very similar to Runkeeper but has a great web interface to help plan rides. The route that I planned yesterday was pretty convoluted and I never would have thought to weave my wall through all of that to get to 25miles. It was nice to minimize the time on major roads.
