I just bought a Wahoo Elemnt Bolt, Friday afternoon, charged it up overnight, read the quick start guide, and went on a gravel ride in foothill country the next morning. I've been using the free version of Strava for this year, and connected my account with the iPhone app. The organized ride offered the RidewithGPS route on their web page, so quickly, as i was having coffee and before my buddy arrived, i somehow loaded that route correctly into the Bolt.

Everything worked out great. Nowhere near knowing the full capabilities of this computer, i stumbled across the elevation profile offered on the Bolt during the ride which was fun to check out (we had about 3,000 feet of elevation climbing that day). Also during the ride, i found it would beep before an upcoming turn, and showed an arrow which direction to turn, with a countdown of distance as i approached. I have some reading to do on its capabilities.

I goofed big time by recording the ride with the Bolt AND my Strava app, but now i know to just use the Bolt. Anybody know which one would be more accurate? I'm not using any of the extra Wahoo sensors, though i might get the HR chest strap later. Without a subscription to Strava, i don't think it would be displayed except on the Bolt or it's app anyway.
