1. This Little Machine

    My cycling computer goes everywhere with me. It has a GPS system that records every movement I make, the elevation I climb, speeds and the number of revolutions I spin with my pedals.  I also wear a heart rate monitor that measures my heart rate and calories burned.

    For starters, I love information and infographics but having all this data really makes a tremendous difference with training. On every ride I go on I strive to improve my numbers. 

    Here’s some data from a ride I did yesterday—it was lots of climbing, starting in Griffith Park and taking me through Glendale, Pasadena, Altadena, La Cañada, Montrose, Burbank and back to Griffith Park!
