I tested out Google My Tracks on my android phone. Its really cool.and it has this handy upload feature which then has this cool embed tool (see below) it tracks speed, location, elevation changes and of course distance. I should have kept it recording for one solid track, to make it more useful. I was riding with a mixed group, road bikes, MTBs and we even gave a dirt path through the woods a try. When we got to several tree trunks blocking the path we turned back to the pavement. But the trike did pretty well where the brush wasn't too overgrown. It made for about a 9 mile ride and I got up to 14mph for a bit. Thats my longest ride and fastest sustained speed with the trike so far. When my stamina is built up more I might alter the gearing or swap the back wheel for a 26 in to get a higher top speed. For now having to peddle fast is a good thing for improving my ability. We didn't do the entire trail, I think there is another 3-4 miles of trail if we had gone all through Bear Creek Park and there is more trail north of where we turned around. I'll definitely be going back here.
