Dawn reppin the Go Bike Trip hat at Sam's Anchor Cafe in Tiburon, CA.

The website will be down for some updates and maintenance. Should be back soon!

Update: Site down for about an hour (up around 2:30pm PST) for routine maintenance. A few security fixes and bug fixes.

Added support for U.S. Cellular. Now those of you using U.S. Cellular can confirm your phone number on GoBikeTrip.com and use the mobile app!

If you have already entered your mobile information under a different carrier please click "delete and start over" in the mobile settings screen, then re enter your phone number with the correct carrier. You will receive a txt message with your confirmation number. Enter the number under mobile settings and you are good to go!

Nice morning ride from Max's in Burlingame to Oracle. Left from my networking meeting at 9am along the bay trail at a moderate pace with one or two short stops to admire the trail and read a sign about tree removal. Arrived by 10:10am about an hour ride.

Ended up at REI in San Carlos. Dropped the bike off for some maintenance, picked up a new watch, then walked to the train station. Beautiful day today. The weather is warming up fast! My arms are already red from the sun.

A new ssl certificate from geotrust rendered the app useless for 24 hours. I noticed this evening that it hasn't been working since last night around 9pm PST.

The android didn't like the new certificate. After some research I found the instructions and tools needed to get it working again! They are listed below.

The app is working great now and your information is secure!

In an effort to bring it all together I am working on a new mobile theme to make the website as accessible as possible. This is important with the recent release of the new android app and will be increasingly important once I wrap my head around iphone app development (currently climbing the learning curve).

First thing is first. Install a module to detect mobile devices and work on a new custom theme to make it as easy as possible to register for a new account via mobile phone.

The app is published and live today!

Now you can log your miles easier from your android powered phones.

Working on a new app to interface with user accounts. Will start with some basic functionality like logging miles from the phone. The app will default to the present date (with option to change that date) and there will be a small text entry box for the number of miles you rode that day. Click the button and your profile / quick miles will be updated.

As I look out on the bay the reflections stretch for miles across the water and the lights on the other side shimmer like the gentle waves go on forever.

Tonight I rode up to Peninsula down to the bay then around Broadway. Now that Peninsula is accessible it is a perfect loop from my apartment. I needed some exercise to help clear my mind before bed. A nice five mile loop with a few areas for maximum acceleration to get my heart rate up and my lungs working did the job.

The bike is great! I've been riding it for three weeks now. I reach max gear and higher speeds much faster than my old bike. My legs stretch out further, which feels great. I am exercising different muscles and stretching my legs more than before.

It took a few days to adjust. After the first ride around the park and down by the bay my crotch and my legs were soar for a few days... Then my body adjusted and as I got used to it the benefits were clear.
