I like it for the information. How far, how much vertical, average speed and maximum speed. It also lets me keep track of days skied and mileage and elevation gains for the season. It comes in just as handy for hiking, biking and boating. I've also used the map while hiking to orient myself or find the shortest way back to a trail.

Probably my biggest ride in Moab. The Whole Enchilada, plus the Jimmy Keen section thrown in.

33 miles (not including the 4 mile ride back to town). Starts with a 13% grade climb from a bit over 10,000 feet to 11,200'. Then 8000+ feet of descending.
Great.
F*cking.
Ride!

Nothing short of amazing, it drops through numerous ecosystems from 11000' down to the Colorado River at around 4000" with numerous killer climbs thrown in.




I'm kinda shifting gears and hitting the bike porn pretty hard!


Moab is like another planet. It's why I have to get both shoulders done, have a history of cracking ribs (the MRI Tech was wondering about my various arm and shoulder scars)
and even have a dislocated finger to show for it.
I think this was just after turning 68, with my youngest son (and pack mule) who was about to turn 29.
