See my post above http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread...1#post11673019 including Garmin link for details of my ride. It was very challenging this year. I don't mind, so much, the wind or the hills. However the two combined were really underappreciated.

"Isn't Dungarvin Road FUN!?!?! "

If I knew which road that was, I might be able to tell ya', but I have no clue. If I was with others, and not doing all the work, then it might not have been that bad. If it was in the second half, then it was likely rough since I was often by myself or pulling a small group.

btw... I love my Garmin 500. I used the course feature, which did work well even if I didn't use that screen. My virtual partner finished before me and I was only a mile or so behind (VP does not stop when you do).
