After 7months, I'm still working out how to use this 305 properly. Case in point - I just learned that if you don't download after each ride, you need to reset the timer. I didn't do this a couple of times and end up with a couple of "monster" rides that appear to span 2-3days. When I load these into GarminConnect I get the joint rides scrunched up at either end of the profile graphs with 2days of nothing in the middle. If I load them into SportTracks first ride loads OK, but it only records the route of the second ride - all my HR, cadence, speed, elevation and timing data is lost.

So, can anyone tell me how to split this into 2 rides? Ideally I'd like to load them into SportTracks but suspect I might be SOL.

If you have a tcx (or gpx) file for the whole period (including the 2-3 days in between), I suspect you might not be SOL. I do not have a straightforward solution to your problem - but I think you can edit the tcx/gpx file to split it into two separate files which can then be imported for activities on 2 separate days.

If you edit (using a text editor) the gpx/tcs file which are normally in xml format, it should be possible to delete the irrelevant information. Sorry my info is not precise- if you email me your tcx/gpx - I can play with it and give it a shot.

The other option would be to use Sporttracks edit data track to do what you want.

I had the same issue before. But for some strange reason, it doesnt do it anymore. The only things I have dont differently was, make sure I hit the stop button after every ride, plus I downloaded a software update from the garmin website. Another thing you can do before riding is make sure the data is reset before riding off.
