So here we are on "Tevis" night.....with nothing to do. So I was checking this out. "findmespot.com"
Imagine out of state riders being able to let friends and family know where they are at all times (ok, only every 10 minutes) and be able to see it on "google earth".
Or train-by-myself riders being able to feel a little more safe out on trail. And they are seriously not very expensive.
I just recently saw this advertised on Versus while I was watching the TdF. I think this is a great idea for those of us that train/condition alone. Most of the trails around my area do not have cell service and this would be great in an emergency.
