I did find that it easy as breeze to upload multiple activities from my GPS to this site. I like it. There are some features that are not overlapped by Plus 3 and Mtbguru (I don't use motionbased anymore). I'm still using both these days. Nice job on staying active and actively logging. Hope to see you high on the leaderboard again soon! Hi Patrick, thanks for sharing your knowledge. I did find that it easy as breeze to upload multiple activities from my GPS to this site. I like it.

They are a great group and really are trying to make a difference, not just make a profit. I've personally found it a good motivation to get out and do some non-core sports (eg I hardly ever walked anywhere but now look for any opportunity to walk places where I might have driven). Also, you can click on a sponsor and go to their page to see how much has been donated. The other great feature is the leaderboard. Especially towards the end of the month, it incents me to ride longer and more. And the challenges are yet another incentive to get out - I've received a bunch of free stuff from the challenge sponsors. I think Plus 3 is going to become the new motionbased.com one day - the place you go to find a good ride route. The website is very good (silly?) and they are constantly improving it (I rode with the developer frequently until he moved to AZ). Congrats on joining Mei! Looking forward to following your rides!

I'm sorry I've been busy and it took me a couple of days to respond. And my response is so long that I incorporated it into my post above in the "Updates" section. Yep, there are unanswered questions I'm still searching the answers for. Hi Alison, thanks so much for raising a different voice. I'm sorry I've been busy and it took me a couple of days to respond.

I'm happy to just plain donate the small amount of money they raise instead of bothering with their silly web site. How do you know if they really make the donation? Do you ever get confirmation from the group you elect? Call me cynical, but the Plus 3 network strikes me as too much of a waste of time.
