ride stats:
Rider weight: 258 lbs.
Distance: 21.25 mi
avg speed: 15.4 mph
ride time: 1:22:43
climb: 692 ft
calories: 1,104 c

i also dig that the edge 1000 auto uploads my ride as soon as i hit save ride to garmin connect, strava and myfitnesspal so that my exercise is plugged in to my calorie counter.
