Update - Movember Free Stuff Giveaway

Need to say a big hell-yeah to Stewart Harper. Our pal Stew was the first to donate to my MoSpace last week and won himself a pretty sweet set of Race Face handlebars. Congrats to Stew. As part of my commitment to Movember very soon I'll be doing the second giveaway of my Movember Free Stuff Giveaway. The next prize? Hint: they're fast and go on mountain bike wheels...

Until then I'll also use this time & energy to let you know about a little project our good buddy Stewart Harper is working on. The gig is called GoBreadCrumbs (www.gobreadcrumbs.com), a wicked online application where us adventure, bike & fitness nuts can not only upload our sweet GPS tracks via GPS device or smartphone, but also attach those beauty action shots & videos as further proof of just how rad we all are.

Stew is one of the main big-shots behind the GoBreadcrumbs project, and I met him one year thru the NSRide weekly rides. Although Stew showed up for the rides on a barely functional Cannondale hardtail c/w 4" Lefty travel fork we still took him in as one of our own, and I quickly learned that despite of his funny choice in bikes Stew is a regular dude like you and I and created GoBreadCrumbs as a result of alot of his own riding and alot of adventures.

Cool stuff the site can do for you includes posting your ride details to Facebook, share tracks with friends, and soon post to Twitter. I really like the 'Manage Track' feature. This gives the user the ability to edit those instances when their GPS device goes a bit 'drunken sailor' and records instances like - 'holy shit, I rode my rode bike right into the ocean'. You can drag the track back to where you actually rode in the first place, and voila - save it.

So - if you ride, run, hike, walk, kayak, snowboard, ski, motorbike, use anything with a GPS device that tracks, get on GoBreadCrumbs and give it a whirl. Very cool app.
