I am really excited about this post because I have finally got all my plugins working. I will be doing this same format for Pedalfest 2009. You will notice the video of course, but under the video is a map. In this map my GPS coordinates are logged and plotted on the map, hold on it gets better. Notice in the map you see little thumbnails pictures. These are picture that I have embedded my GPS coordinates into during the time the picture was taken. You can click on them in the map to see the actual picture taken by me at that very location on the map. Notice my picture of the New Arena, it is funny that it doesn’t even show up on Google Maps yet.
I also will be placing a live link here on the site and making available my real time location during the ride. It will be a link to another page supplying my real time share location. I will explain more of that soon. Yes notice the end of the video and the last picture on the map, I had a cloud bust on me 
ENJOY !!

Last nights commute was a bit eerie luckily I missed the storm and the hail. I did take some pictures on the way home but my phone camera sucks for night photos. There were leaves and debris all over the streets looked similar to a tornado passing through.
Today was pretty nice (except the wind) not near as humid as I thought it was going to be. I left for work a tad early set my trusty GPS to work as my destination. Arrival time…2:40,this is perfect amount of time to stop off and eat since work doesn’t start untill 3:30. I stopped off at my favorite place to eat. It’s healthy and off the chart delicious. My Tho is the best for “Pho”in Wichita.
After lunch I continued my route to work. Couldn’t help but notice the Intrust Bank Arena is almost complete bear with me here on these photos. It looks like I will be needing to make sure I get a decent camera with my next cell phone purchase.
Last but not least, I passed the old soap box derby hill. This hill brings back some special memories for me. Some which are absolutely frightening. We used to ride down it all day long on our BMX bikes. It was a blast but the problem with the end of the hill is this. They used to use hay bails to stop the cars once the approached the end of the hill. I laugh as I type this but it was very scary at the time. I was probaly 6 or 7 and my cousin was riding full speed down the hill when some wire from a hay bail got lodged in his front wheel sending him over his handlebars. I just remeber he was cut up pretty bad. The hill doesn’t look like much unless you are actually standing atop.
