While I try to ride year round, May is the first month I can really plan on riding any distance. This May is no exception. I’ve been working on some minor improvements to my bike; lighting upgrades, electrical system mods and some equipment additions to mount photo and video equipment on the bike.
Before I hit the road I do plenty of planning. This year much of my planning for the flurry of road trips is working out all of my technology needs. In the past I would ride and shoot all day. When I stopped for lunch or for the night I would download all my photos and maybe push a few up to my website. Two years ago I started using a tracking program so people could see where I was riding in real time. Results were spotty at best.

This year one of my goals is to be more proactive about blogging and getting more real time info from the road onto social networking sites as-well-as this site. Recently this site was overhauled making it easier to integrate some of the tech related stuff I have been working on. I’ve been able to take the GSP data that I collect for my live map display and merge it with my photos allowing me to geo tag my images. I’m also a fairly avid user of twitter and look forward to tweeting from the road shortly.
