well, here's my situation:
my daily training rides are on the same route. i'm finding that i push myself, then i slow down. so my heart rate is up and down for the whole ride. i'm thinking that having a HR/Cadence monitor will help me make sure i'm training effectively, consistently challenging myself. i don't need GPS for these rides.
but also.
my weekend routes are longer, and i am not enjoying cycle club rides. i would like to be able to download a cue sheet into the thing and lead a ride with friends to places i haven't been.
note, i like that the Edge doesn't need wires/wheel sensor for speed/etc.
so if the Edge 500 can do both...?
