Getting Ready for the Trip

So, today, I went on a long ride with Steve. Basically, we went from Tiny Town, down 285 over Kenosha Pass to Fairplay, then north on Highway 9 and over Hoosier Pass down into Breckenridge for lunch. Then, back past Keystone and A-basin, over Loveland Pass, and then back down the hill following the I-70 frontage road.

So, it looks like we went about 160 miles. Nice little ride.

One of the things I struggle with is my new GoPro Hero 5 that I got this year. The button on it isn't as user-friendly as the previous ones. It's hard to know if it's recording or not. So, one idea I had was some sort of mirror I could wear on my glove. THis would allow me to see what the GoPro is doing while it's on top of my helmet, without having to adjust my rear view mirrors to see it every 30 seconds.

So, I think I'll order this from Amazon.

Order has been placed. It will be here Monday October 23.

OK. Now, I need a new iphone, and a mounting bracket for it.
But, I'm not sure what iphone to get.

The dimensions of the iphone 6s Plus: 6.22" x 3.06" x 0.29".
The dimensions of the iphone 6s.......: 5.44" x 2.64" x 0.28".
The dimensions of the iphone 4s.......: 4.54" x 2.31" x 0.37".

Also, I thought I'd pick up some oil filters for the trip. But, it looks like maybe I should just go to the Honda shop to pick these up.

I also need an after-market seat for this bike.
