Facebook App for tracking Mountain Bike Rides

I was trying to remember the other day how many rides I went on last year and I couldn’t remember. So for this year I decided to create a ride log and I’ve made it as a Facebook application that anyone can use.

Its very simple at the moment, which is not a bad thing, I don’t want to clutter it up. But I do have plans for more features if people actualy start using it!?

Basically all the app allows you to do now is enter in a database each ride you go on. With fields like location, trails you rode and friends you rode with. The app is integrated with facebooks friends system and has an option to post a message to your wall when you add a ride.

You can try it out here: http://apps.facebook.com/ridelog/

Future features:
- Profile tab
- Profile box showing latest rides added
- upload images
- stats page showing most popular locations, trails, top riders and so on
- location & trail names clickable
- global page to view everyones ridelogs (if public)

If you have any suggestions please let me know!

New Mountain Bike, Take 2

I bought a new mountain bike today since my last one was stolen. I decided to get a more agressive downhill bike this time.

Bike Stolen

FUCK FUCK FUCK!

I just went down to my parking garage to find someone has stolen my downhill mountain bike! AHHHHH
what a ton of money down the drain, and I really liked the bike, It was only a month or 2 old.
