Changing Gears

I'm going to expand the Germany blog to track progress on the MS150 I'm doing tomorrow. The plan is to leave from Tully Stadium in West Houston at ~8am, and be in La Grange by 2 or so. If you're interested, there are a couple of ways to track my progress during the ride.

The first one is this chip they gave us to attach to our shoe and send e-mail and text message alerts to people who sign up for the service. It's pretty much to save people a phone call or text to say "I'm at the Lunch Stop" so they can meet up. Go to http://www.racedayalert.com/BPMS150/Default.aspx and enter rider 1198. It will show up as Mike Kane (my nom de plume for the MS150 this year). There's also a way to get e-mail updates, but you need to sign up for an account for that.

The second way is for me to just to post updates here at this blog page from my cell phone. I'm going to try to get some GPS tracks uploaded to motionbased.com, but that might be a little more tricky fom the road. If I do, I'll post the links here. They'll be up when it's over for sure...

That's all for now - I'd better get some sleep!
