Fast ride at Flatwoods

Hadn't posted this one yet, but in preparation for my upcoming trip I went on a training ride with my girlfriend. She has been struggling with her cardio and endurance, which are two things she is going to desperately need out west. So we took to the loop trail this day and SMOKED it. Granted, the time still isn't super impressive, but the average speed was outstanding thanks to us only taking a 5 minute rest overall...and that was ME, not HER. She did the whole loop without stopping; the 5 minutes was the total time I spent waiting for her on some sections to catch up. Very good!

BOYETTE-SWAMP THING TRAIL

Had a very nice Easter Sunday ride at Boyette today...a great way to end a fantastic 3 day weekend. I rode Upper and Lower Loch Ness, Golf Cart, Spider Berm, Abyss, Gary's Loop, Swamp Thing, Meadow and the Forest trails. I was really happy I was able to not dab on Abyss and Lower/Upper Loch Ness. I had never ridden Swamp Thing or Gary's Loop before; those were pretty nice trails. When I have someone with me, I want to hit Ridgeline. I avoided it today, since riding alone it could be a bit risky. Don't want to break something and be stuck out in the middle of nowhere.

FLICKR issue resolved

So the other day I discovered a program for the Android that uploads my pictures to my Flickr account. It's called "Bucket Uploader", and it's free in the Marketplace. So I have officially found a way to load the pics directly to Flickr while on the road. It also sends all the GPS data for the pictures as well, so when I get home I can place all of the pics on the map.
Picasa is pretty much useless; I wish that Google would fix that program so it can be more user friendly.
