It's lookin' to be a little moist up in here tomorrow. I've got 80 miles planned. Do I need to do anything if I run my PT through a bunch of rain or are they somewhat moderately waterproof?
mattm - I hear you all have rain over your way some.

Throw the stick!!!!
What software is everyone using to view their data? I have Cycling Peaks WKO+ on my old computer but I don't believe I can transfer it to my current laptop.
Here is the garmin information from my first ride with the new powertap. This should make everyone here feel really good about their numbers.

The climb is one of the easier ones around here, I'm just really, really, really out of shape.

Since we were talking about this recently, Negative decoupling for my entire ride today.

I know that someone on here works on GC. Just a recommendation, it would be cool if it calculated decoupling for each interval. That would be really useful for longer (10', 20', 30') intervals, IMO.
My ride today ended up with negative decoupling as well, but it was not a recovery ride.

As aside note, the program isn't nearly as nice as Cycling Peaks WKO but it's free so I can't complain.

x:\Garmin\History, where "x" is the drive letter that your unit gets assigned.

Thanks, so just get it straight off of the unit I guess. That works for me.

Whenever I wear my HR strap with my PM it only picks up randomly. It'll go 10 minutes without reading, and then read it for a minute, and then cut out again for a bit. So I never actually get real readings, hence I don't wear it anymore. Is there something that I'm doing wrong to cause this? Do you have to calibrate the strap to the computer somehow? I never really put much thought in to it, but I've considered wearing it lately so I guess I should figure it out. I have a wired PT and the standard cycleops computer as well.

OK.. the GC 705 import error bug is really starting to aggravate me. I'm sitting here with a tcx for a 5:15 ride from today and it insists it was 6:05, so a lot of the metrics are screwed up. This is not the only one, but it's the most recent.
The bug is basically that GC tries to be "smart" and "fill in" blank data because it's just assuming the tcx file is wrong.
Does anyone know an easy way to cut out sections of the ride?
This is to the point where I'm thinking of the parallels / wko route...

Easy is relative... I use First Object XML Editor to edit out sections of TCX files.

Are you using a version of GC with an editor tab? I haven't used it but it looks like you can easily delete portions of the ride. You would still be left with time gaps but the ride time should be correct.
