Bike Computers ... taken up a notch

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Bike Computers ... taken up a notch

I just picked up a new Garmin head unit and started using Golden Cheetah 2.0 with it. Both are really great products (+ you really can't beat Golden Cheetahs freeness)

I also got a inexpensive netbook (~$190) from Cheetah Deals. Thought a "scratch and dent" would be best because of moving it around to races or a friends house to spin. The trainer really kills me I need to mix it up

Anyways am I just on a fad obsession with data right now or do others also see value in having portability with your data?

Both our Macs have GC so yeah, portability is good.

Absolutely! I find it almost therapeutic reviewing it in the car on the way back from a race or ride.
