View SMR rides in your iGoogle homepage
If you use iGoogle there are two different ways to browse Sunday Morning Rides
from your page. You can either browse SMR's RSS ride listing or use our
interative viewer. You can use either to browse SMR's RSS ride listing or use our interative viewer. This is a convenient way to browse the hundreds of rides at SMR when you can't necessarily have the SMR page open (ahem...at the office).
All you have to do from your iGoogle home page is click on the "Add Stuff >>" link on the upper right hand corner, then click on the "Add by URL" link next to the Search Homepage Content. From there just enter one of the following URLs and click the Add button.

RSS

The SMR iGoogle viewer is a trimmed down version of the SMR mapper. You can pan, zoom, and choose different layers right from this interface. To view the full SMR map just click on the ride name. As with all SMR maps, road rides are marked with blue and adventure in red. This module will display a random ride each time you load the page.
You can also use iGoogle to view SMR's RSS ride feed. By default the iGoogle module will display 3 random rides from SMR. Click on the links to goto the ride map. To show more rides, click on down arrow to edit the module settings.
Anyhow, we'll be making incremental improvements to the module and if you have any suggestions as to how we can make it better, please contact me at: feedback@sundaymorningrides.com.
