i thought about waiting to plug it into the edge when it was low, but didnt want to mess with it at the end of a tough ride. i had the minty in my saddle bag and ran the usb cord under my top tube to the unit. worked great.
what external battery are you using?
later.
I am using this battery:

My setup in similar in that I put the battery in my rear bag with the cord running forward. I got the Garmin only after my brevet series was over. I do plan on using it for PBP.
