Well, I am still recovering from a classroom full of flu-ridden students, so I haven't taken another bicycle ride. I did, however, drive to a grocery store for more chicken noodle soup and turned on the Edge to collect data. When I got home, I synced up with my iPad and got the ride to upload, though I had to quit Connect and relaunch it before it actually uploaded the ride. In any case, the ride is online with Garmin and was online with Ride with GPS before I deleted it. I also deleted the ride from my Edge, though I will have to read some directions in order to learn how to delete the ride from the Garmin web site.
Yeah, I'm pretty ecstatic! I wish the Garmin directions had been clearer. Even the customer service rep who emailed me from Garmin just said that I had to use USB with a computer or a smart phone with Bluetooth. Once again, I think that either the latest update to the Edge or an update to Connect (most likely) made it possible to sync using an iPad.
