Cyclemeter Story: Barry Grabowski

I, and some fellow riders, recently completed the BC Cancer Foundation Ride to Conquer Cancer. This was a 250 kilometer ride from Vancouver, BC to Seattle, Washington, which took place over two days. It supports fundraising for the BC Cancer Agency, a leading research centre in Canada. We have been training for the ride since early March 2010. One of the first apps I installed on my iPhone was Cyclemeter, and I’ve been using it ever since to track our training rides so we could see our progress as the distance of our rides increased. Just being able to visualize our rides on a map made it easier for us to appreciate our gains and give us continued confidence to go farther and ride longer.

At one of our fundraisers, we had supporters guess our accumulated training mileage and Cyclemeter was a cool way to verify to everyone how much we had accomplished.

I think the app is great and I’m looking forward to the next upgrade to Cyclemeter.
