Here is the track along with elevation/speed profiles of my ride today.

It was 2.45 miles and took me 24 minutes at an average 6mph.

I used gpslogger on my Blackberry, sweet little free program.

Jett, I have the BB Tour, and I can't find GPS LOGGER in app world- is that the name of it, and where can you get that? Pretty sweet...

BTW, got my new Avid brakes/levers and Kool Stop pads in today and on the bike and adjusted plus took the single speed setup off and went to 1x9. I needed gears unfortunately, the 2:1 single speed ratio was too much for me.

I do have one bad link in the chain but it's right beside a quick link and since I'm only using the middle ring up front I can probably take a link out and still be fine.

I got the program, thanks. It's not the easiest interface though. I'm gonna test it out Saturday when I head out to the trails.

Hey Jett, I used this program today-it ROCKS. I exported the KML files, and they came out great. One question- how did you get the GIF files of your ride profile like the ones in your post? I can only export to GPX (I use Mapsource by Garmin) and KML- but I'd like to have those profile shots...did you use a screen capture program on your BB?

They are screenshots using BBSAK - Blackberry Swiss Army Knife You can get it on rimgeeks.com or just google it too.

I'm planning on a longer ride tomorrow than I've done before since I have gears and can handle the hills better hopefully.

Thanks man, got it.
From now on, I am ALWAYS taking the crackberry with me when I ride...this program is the best. Better than my Garmin, too.

Curve... it has some type of triangulation feature, but no real GPS. If I go into google maps it will give me a current location, but it is w/i 1500ft usually or more.

My Iphone 3g has a GPS though..

Which Curve? Most of them do have gps, but you have to go into advanced options to gps to allow other apps to access it.

do you have to have Internet capability for it to work. My Tilt has GPS capability but do not know how to use it. No Internet on my phone.

I'm not sure if one is available, but you'd need a gps logging program for Windows Mobile for the Tilt.

GPSLogger for Blackberries doesn't require internet access to work since it's not for mapping, just tracking your path.

No more chain derailments for me.

BBG bashguard and N-Gear Jump Stop.
