A little love for MapMyRide

I just wanted to give a shout-out to mapmyride.com real quick. Particularly their new mapping software. The follow-roads option they added makes mapping SO much faster. I used to only map when I wasn't sure of the distance covered, was real concerned about elevation, or was just bored b/c for longer rides, it took forever to map. Now, it's a breeze. I've been mapping like crazy of late.

They also seem to have improved the accuracy and sensitivity of the elevation gain/loss calculations and added gradient information. Other new additions that are kinda nice are being able to pull up local weather while mapping, and the workout calculator pop-up.

You can try mapping without being a member, just can't save your routes or anything...but I'd highly recommend at least taking advantage of the free membership. The workout log and map saving make it definately worthwhile. I have just been thrilled with thier recent updates, so thought I'd share and give them some free love and (a very little) publicity.
