- Thread starter jdog
- Start date
Day 19 - this was my last day in Ocean City so squeezed in a ride before the long drive home. Today was the first time I used the Garmin App to randomly generate me a route. It ended up being a nice route and it made it more fun not really knowing where I was going. I may start doing this more often.

July 19 - After a somewhat stressful day realizing I need to buy a new van very soon (like, tomorrow), I got home and got dressed to ride. Started Strava and... nothing. Sometimes it will "see" the GPS after moving a bit, but not this time. So I turned back to the house. End result:
So... Back into civilian clothes and off to the Verizon store I go... One Google Pixel 2 and some riding later:
The camera works again too...
Tomorrow, I'm off to Vineland to (hopefully) buy a new minivan... Took the day off work, so I'll probably ride first.

It's kinda nice going for a ride and not really knowing which trails you want today and just figuring it out as you go.

Day 19 (no work!):
Thumbs up to mother nature July 19/31
The Mrs. and I were at a concert the night before, so we "slept in" (aka kid was up at 5:30, so dad got up and let mom sleep). It was "one of those days" and I was itching to ride by the time the evening rolled around. I decided to do a canal spin to avoid the evening traffic, and I opted for my "parts bike" to try and dial in a few things. Also made a pit-stop on the way home.
Day 20 (no work again!):
Find me a nicer day in July. 20/31
Today the kid greeted us with a 4:30 wake up, thankfully it was mom's turn this morning. I got to catch a little more sleep before we headed out on an hour long adventure including ATM, coffee, bagels, and getting gas. Should have Stravad (Stravaed?) the drive. Once the little monster was snoozing I set off for Chimney Rock. My legs felt mostly good, but I didn't have it in me to ride the whole place. Forgot to stop for pics.

I like your problem solving. But, did you try unplugging the old van then plugging it back in first?
