6 Mile Run Conditions
- Thread starter jimf
- Start date
made it in the afternoon. Same conditions as yesterday afternoon. Mostly dry with some mud patches (slow down and your bike and legs won't get muddy)....
but I did crash, on yet....another bridge. On the blue heading from Canal. Last second wanted to avoid the mud, got on the bridge at the last second, then fell over, straight onto my drive side hip.
i can vouch for the canal side - it's good to go. a couple puddles that will probably be gone by end of day. the dirt was tacky this morning - i wasn't really pushing and had some of my fastest times out there.

a very bad thing happened today ran into an EMT who looking for a guy who was hurt really bad. The guy said he had a compound fracture and couldn't find him hope he found the injured rider and hope all is well. Very sad to hear that some one was hurt that bad.
This is sad news. I was under the impression that all cellphones are GPS traceable via 911 responders????
Did you help look for the guy??
not all are gps traceable, those that don't have a gps built in can be associated with an area based on the cell tower(s) that they are communicating with. cell towers are not omni-directional, they are broken into sectors (hence all the little flat antennae) - then they can estimate distance using the amount of power needed to transmit - this gives a rough idea of the area the phone is in. if another tower can "hear" the phone, the area can be made smaller using the intersection of the sectors...
you'd think other people would call to report an exact position.
Either you watch too much CSI or you're using a phone from 2001 🙂
The FCC has been mandating all phones be e911 capable ever since 9/11.
So when you dial 911 your phone goes into emergency mode and sends GPS coordinates to the local PSAP (911 call center).
I'm not sure how this info goes from the 911 operator to the responder. I only worry about the first part.

yes my friend and I did but we never found him
coordinates don't come from the phone if it isn't gps equipped...they come from the system. i'm a phone head.
e911 mandates that a 911 call gets routed to a center based on where it is, with some clue as to a location, not the number of the phone (the old way) - with consideration for pstn, local number portability, mobile, and sip clients (ie magic jack)
You may be a "phone head" but trust me on this one.
