Bike Ride Diary

 

Jeanne recorded each day of the Bike Ride on a GPRS wireless communications device equipped with a touch-screen for text entry and a 1.3Mpixel camera. Running Microsoft Windows Mobile, the device allowed Jeanne to write a diary for each day of the ride, and send it, complete with pictures, to the author of this web site.
