the more I ride my bike the more you want to track my progress to see how I'm doing there's a great way to do that using an app called strava today I have a nice short casual bike ride plan but before I hit the road I want to plan my route since I'm not really familiar with this area to do that I'll head to Straub is website and use their route builder here it's really easy to find and create routes based on what's popular in the area you're exploring here I've got the map pulled up and I'll go ahead and find my starting point then I'll just keep clicking until I finish building my route and as I do that strava will give me stats about the route that I'm building so I've got elevation distance and the estimated time it'll take for me to complete the route based on previous rides there's also this really cool feature that lets me minimize the elevations so if I'm trying to take it easy and I don't want a big challenge I can just enable this feature and strava will rear out me so that it's as flat as possible so the route gives me a grand total of 1.1 miles and the estimated moving time is about five minutes and 33 seconds at this point I'm gonna save my route I'll give it a name Oakland morning ride save it and now I can head to strava on my phone launch the app and my route will be there so that I can follow it when I'm actually on the road so I just finished my beautiful trail ride and if I hit finish in strava I can see exactly how I did I've got a map showing me exactly where I went yeah I have a ton of stats I went 1.1 miles it took me six and a half minutes and I've learned 53 calories not bad so even though there are a lot of absolutely you track your ride this is one of the better ones for people who specifically want to get more out of biking
