Wind screwed up the HRM for a while. Good ride though.

Have noticed the calorie count on the older edge units is way high, what's up with that?

The old ones are much heavier and result in the near doubling of energy required for a given ride.... no, I think it's a fairly well known issue with how they calculate it. I just ignore it.

I lowered my riding weight by 20 lbs... Seems to keep it more realistic.

Here is a ride I did on Good Friday: http://connect.garmin.com/activity/28709294

I also used the info on this ride to feed my home brew app that superimposes telemetry (speed, hr, cadence, etc.) on the ride video I took:

Cyclocommuter, that is very cool. I assume you developed this 'app' to superimpose the telemetry? Very, very cool.

These maps are really cool. Do you guys know if the garmin edge 500 will give you the map data? I really like that, but I'm not in a position to buy a 705 right now.

edit- I mean the maps that you guys are posting online, I know there is no maps on the actual device.

Of course it will, that's one of its main features; just go to http://connect.garmin.com, register for an account, and then click on the giant upload button. If you look at most of the links people have posted, they're using Edge 305s/500s and and Forerunners, not a 705

I'm about to head out for a training ride, but here was my last ride data from New Braunfels, TX. Went out for almost 50 with the girlfriend. She really struggled the last 10 miles home into a stiff wind, but it was an incredible day to ride, 70 degrees without a cloud in the sky.

I posted some pics from the ride in this thread:

One of the features I love best about Garmin Connect is that you can search for new routes and places to go ride.

Awesome... I know what I'll be buying soon.

In theory that's a great feature, but here in Denmark, there are about six people with an Edge or Forerunner, and three of those come either from my family or our next door neighbour

Cool rides guys. Thanks for sharing. So far one of the biggest lessons I've learned is that Florida is as flat as everybody says it is. Looks like it makes for some pretty fast rides though so it's probably pretty fun.

**kayakdiver** · 04-10-10, 03:20 PM

Todays group ride... Was a great day in the saddle.

**mrardo** · 04-10-10, 04:16 PM

This is my normal Saturday ride. This was a recovery ride so it's slow. I tore my calf muscle last week at the gym. It is pretty much better but that and a bad shoulder almost had my wife ban me from the gym. The injuries don't bother me on the bike but have interfered with my training.

Today's ride, from Strava

Worked until 2AM Saturday morning, so I was pressed for time to get a ride in today. Too bad, it was a beautiful morning.

Here is my "it sucks to be over 70 ride..."

Hmmm, no HR data? Too bad, I'd be interested to see how low yours probably is. Seems like my ticker is working harder on my efforts than most of yours. Not sure if that's a bad thing or not. I guess it's just the way it is.

**thecambrio** · 04-10-10, 05:22 PM

Here is mine from today.

Nasty head wind on the way home. MY legs fell off at 60km..

Here is the same ride except I forgot to turn on the timer after I took a break down at the river... I lost about 4 miles
worth of data. This one has the heart rate data.

it's even flatter than people say!

here's a circuit race from today, I sat up at the 35 minute mark after barely avoiding two crashes. At the point I sat up the average was at 25 mph, I never knew I could hang with that!

Yes, it finally doesn't suck.

I din't do anything interesting the "today" this thread was started, but I assume it's ok to post the ride from the current "today," Mulholland Challenge, in the Santa Monica Mountains.
