Yer sorry, I didn't mean to cut your string, did you ever make it home?

You lot on drugs? If not you may need medicating.

Well yes, about 4 a day.
Was on warfarin a few years back.
Nasty side effects for me.
I developed phobia of cats and a penchant for cheese

No and no shut sherlock, but the doctors won't prescribe then for me as "insufficient evidence" so I'm this way until I get worse.

I tend to explore Google maps on my laptop if I'm heading on a ride which my paper maps don't cover.

But, question for RBers - I've had strava in the past as sometimes I like to see how far I've gone etc BUT I don't like the performance stats; I find you end up pushing yourself harder than usual.

Is there an app that you can have running in the background on your smartphone during a ride (like strava), that simply produces a map of how far you have rode and not much else??
