When I first started road riding, I used MapMyRide to plan out trips. Fast forward three years and I know most of the roads in Worcester county, so MapMyRides isn't useful to me anymore. I was a paid subscriber of MapMyRide for 3 years, but the latest changes to the UI suck.
The usability has gotten worse. Instead, I use Strava. The interface of Strava is simpler and more user friendly. To be fair, Strava's focus is social riding, while MapMyRide does a lot more. I used to log all of my workouts on MapMyRide, but due to the clunkiness of the UI, I don't use it anymore.
The worst part is the iOS app for MapMyRide. It flat out sucks, looks ugly and slow.

New Wheels
For my birthday, my family got me a gift certificate to Nashbar, so I got a new set of Mavic Aksium M10 wheels. The stock wheels that came with my Giant Avail are ok, but they are a bit heavy.
The spoke count is considerably less than the stock Giant P-R2, which is the standard spoke setup. I can't wait to try these out in Western MA on greylock, mohawk trail and east hawley hill.
