Thoughts from the mountains

For some time now I've wanted to build a new web application from scratch using one of the many frameworks available for ColdFusion so that I could get a better feel for MVC frameworks in general as well as evaluate the tool to increase my coding productivity. A couple of months ago, I started to use the MyTracks application for Android to record my bicycle riding this season so that I could see all of the rides in one place and see some statistics as the season moved on. Right away, I determined that it would be nice to import the data from MyTracks into my own database and then build a web app for looking at the data and statistics all in one place. After looking at several different frameworks, I decided on CfWheels and started working on my new application.
