I'm trying to stay ahead of the reaper by as far as possible and there are days that I feel like my chips have been cashed in. Being able to see results during and after the ride is extremely helpful in revealing my status. I understand why some might want no part of the data that can be accessed with today's electronics and that is their prerogative.
The live information during my solo 76 mile segment of today's ride kept me honest in maintaining an average mph and the info during the second group 45 mile segment allowed me to push and keep on track with the other rider's speeds.
I find the information very helpful NOT like being a vampire just sucking the fun out of my rides.
