I don't take my HR Monitor to races or rides like the Nyack Ride, because it essentially tells me that I've been at 85% of MHR for over an hour, and since we all know that's theoretically impossible and I should be lying on the side of the road @ that point, I'd rather not know.
If you know what I mean. And if you race bikes, you do.
If Discovery Channel thinks that, why did they sponsor a pro cycling team? The irony is outstanding.
