Having met my “500 miles by July 1” cycling goal, I’ve set the next goal of 1,000 miles by September 1. It may or may not be realistic, but it’s a goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m at 515 miles on my bike odometer as of today. But today I confirmed that my bike odometer undercounts by around 10%. I’ve known it was undercounting for a while since it never matches what Apple Maps, Google Maps and my vehicle odometer says for my typical routes. But today I used the Apple Workout app for the first time, and it recorded 11.45 miles while my bike odometer recorded 10.4. I think this is probably because the bike computer wheel size setting assumes a more standard 26″ tire (say a 1.95″), while my bike has fat tires (4″). I’ll see what I can do to tweak it tonight. If I can get it to roughly match what Apple Workout records, I’ll be happy. I’m mainly after consistency here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I should have explored the Apple Workout app a long time ago. Especially since it records calories for a ride, which I’ve wanted for a long while. Well duh, it’s there. Along with a bunch of other useful data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From today’s ride, my first ride recorded by Apply Workout:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is awesome data to have. Now I just need a handlebar phone mount so I can keep track of my heart rate easily during a ride.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
