Yoga sounds dangerous.

So Razor,

I didn't see cadence on your Garmin read out. No sensor?

Holy crap that is an ugly bike!

He stopped drooling on it.

yup.

Keep your eyes on the bike/tri forums. You'll find used GSC-10's (cadence/speed sensors) and HRM straps on the cheap. I got a second GSC-10 and mount on Amazon for $45 shipped if you want to go new. Just make sure the HRM strap is coded for the Garmin.

I'm sure you also know that there is a "post your Garmin Connect ride" thread in the 41. It's very popular. Are you taking a long ride this weekend? Post it up.

your doing it wrong. If you felt it in your back, then you were "resting on your joints" and hyperextendig your lumbar spine.

is that a Cervelo?
yup

be on the lookout for 10 miles at 60mph to increase the avg speed.

I'm pretty sure if you look up "clown bike" you'll come up with THAT ^ picture...

And I couldn't be sure...but I think it's a Cervelo?

Oh ye of little faith.

I'm a Razor Athiest

No bench. Fail.

Razor, whatever you do, don't opt for buying the GSC 10 speed/cadence sensor or the heart rate strap directly from Garmin! You'll spend more than you have to...

With some basic Googling, you can find the GSC 10 for $40 (or slightly under) including tax and shipping.

The heart rate strap gets a little more confusing. At this point, I believe Garmin now has 3 straps that will work with the Edge 500 (and all other Garmin ANT+ units). These are:

1. The original "hard/classic/old school" strap monitor ($35-$45 range)
2. The "current premium" soft strap monitor ($40 and up range)
3. The "latest/new premium" soft strap monitor

The following pictures and text are from DCRainmaker's review of the Garmin Edge 800 at DC Rainmaker Garmin Edge 800 In Depth First Look Review


"Depending on which version you pickup, the unit will either come with the Premium ANT+ Heart Rate Soft Strap, or it’ll require you to pick on up. You can utilize any existing ANT+ strap (such as one from an older Garmin unit), but it does have to be ANT+. Meaning, a strap from a Polar or similar unit won’t work.

Garmin today itself offers two straps – one is the classic strap, and the other is the newer ‘Premium Soft Strap’. However, an even newer premium strap has also been tossed into the mix. This one looks very much like the Polar Wearlink Strap and is oddly enough ‘licensed’ from an unnamed organization. Garmin had no comment on who it was licensed from."

As I said, each of these will work with any of the Garmin ANT+ devices. The only difference may be comfort. The main difference between 1 and 2/3 are that the "premium" straps use a removable transmitter "puck" and the straps themselves are made of a softer fabric, and thus may be more comfortable to wear.

Even WITH a bench, that would be a fail

you really should put on sunglasses and sun block before opening this page.

Not sure if it is a Cervelo. Maybe VG can chime in. She's a Cervelo expert and is our link to Cervelo Man if we need his input...

wut

The only joint I was resting on was my elbows (hence the carpet burn). How else can it be done?

It would look better with camo bar tape.

Couldn't hurt it. I'm just happy that it is one of a kind.

we should ask pcad what he thinks of that clown bike....the cervelo? not sure what brand. just a shot in the dark.

The spokes look like they should glow in the dark.

i've got new neighbours and apparently they have a dog, a black labrador not unlike truckstop's 3 legged friend. how comes i never hear the dog barking? the idiot neighbour from across the street i mentioned before has a dog i hear all the time yapping into the night.

'Cause labs are cool. They don't need to bark all the damn time.

Besides, they are usually too busy chewing on stuff to bark.
