Out For A Ride

Over a year in the making, and three code frameworks later, Out For A Ride is finally ready for public consumption. Tell all your friends!

***Keep in mind that this is ALPHA, the designers/programmers haven't even made it to BETA yet, so there will be tons more features coming in the future.

This is a site that I've been helping to test over the past few months. Created by Stephen Hallgren aka "Teevio", a designer/cyclist from the Boston area. Out For A Ride is a great place to log your rides, your routes, what gear you ride with, what bikes you ride on as well as plenty of ability to chat, leave comments and basically socialize online with like-minded cyclists.

Still in it's infancy, Out For A Ride will only continue to grow. This is your opportunity to get in on the ground floor and be one of its early members. Out For A Ride was only made public today and already is attracting cyclists from all over the country.

Out For A Ride would be the perfect place for all of the 5count readers out there to see what, where and how much we all are riding. For those of you who decide to check it out and see what Out For A Ride is, leave a comment here and let the rest of us know what your "Out For A Ride screen name" is. If you're curious, you can check out what I've ridden the past couple of weeks by looking up "PMESS".

Hope to see you there!

I am "muehlsch". Moose is on there too. The 2 dads are sure getting in a lot of riding. I think I will have to talk Susanne into me becoming a dad so I can ride more often ;-) Wonder how the 3rd dad Rodrigo is doing with his training schedule...

If it makes you feel better Danny, Rodrigo hasn't ridden since he moved up north either.
If you and Susanne are going to have kids, you should do it before you get too old...and yer almost there! Dohhhh!

Hey guys, like Paul said, barely any riding for me so far. Two rides to be exact in the last two month. But now that the baby is due in a couple of weeks I'm sure I'll have a lot more time to ride (yeah right). My user name is rocco. I found moose but not you danny, are you sure abut the user name ?

Rod, I got your phone message. I'll give you a buzz.

Recording rides is old news - http://www.cycle2max.com/ started that 5+ years ago.

I may check out this new site and post verification that I too am doing zero miles at the moment :(

Whats up Paul, I saw "Out for a ride on your blog and signed up. My screen name is bjerald. Of course it is December and I am just now hearing about it. Riding is picking up, but still not back to form. Hopefully will be close when the "Bring it on Series " begins. Hows daddy life by the way? Anyway, talk to you later.
