Pretty cool, thanks for sharing! Yeah I had to pick that music! I was also wearing my Back to the Future t-shirt that day =P

Thanks guys! I don't know for the weight yet, I don't have a scale at home. I'll try to borrow one. Here's my tracking data from the following day: http://www.sports-tracker.com/workout/st%C3%A9phanebersot/55c2a8a6e4b0e6dddb194227 Don't believe the displayed top speed since there's a spike at...
