Re: [RC] Very Virtual Endurance - Rebecca HackworthOK as the Endurance Population is getting older (we all are, admit it or not) came across something many of us could benefit from. The thought of loosing $300 (or more) prescription bifocal sunglasses, there is an alternative. "stickonbifocal.com" Last time I ordered them they were $13. Stick them to a cheap pair of sunglasses and WONDERS.....you can read a GPS or a Watch or....wait.....A MAP! And if you loose them you are only out a few bucks instead of hundreds. Not something I would want to read a novel with but it works great for the above. ---- Original Message ---- From: rides2far@xxxxxxxx To: johnt@xxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [RC] Very Virtual Endurance Date: Tue, 24 Feb 2009 18:07:29 GMT Since VV is unreal, which we all know, why do we have to do the GPSthing if we already know the miles we are doing?My husband got me a GPS for Christmas two years ago and it sat on the counter for a full year before John offered the first VV March Madness. That pushed me to actually *read the book* and discover that *wonder of wonders* I could set the numbers large enough to read them without glasses (the main reason I hadn't bothered with carrying it!) Through the VV rides I learned to use Google Earth. I have put all my trails on my Google Earth set up...and I am addicted to it like some people are to video games. I love flying over my neighborhood, zooming in on the mountains and looking for old road beds that might be possible new trails for me. I'm trying to figure out how to put the whole Longstreet Trail on one that others can visit that won't just be a still shot (anybody want to show me how?) The other day I picked up a hang glider pilot who had put down near my house, 4 miles from the local flight park and gave him a ride back. He told me he'd always wanted to land on that field, it was so beautiful topping the ridge and looking down on it and it was funny because I knew exactly the view he was talking about. >g< I like competing with everyone on training miles, but throwing in competition makes it tougher for me. It's still motivating.
