Well, the battery lasted longer than I did. I died 9 hours in. Battery was still at 50%. Oh well. Now it's back to mtb. Hope my hill climbing is better as a result.

Thanks all. Yes, it will take a long time. My plan was to set the virtual pacer for the periods when I'm delirious :) Some guys will complete this race in maybe 17 hours (it's not states) and some up to 30 or not making the whole distance. I was going to switch off/on different watches when...

Haven't been on much lately as I started trail running to help with mtb and got bit by the bug. For those of you that use the virtual pacer on your garmin, do you know if it eats up battery life? I have my first 100 mile run this coming weekend and am worried about battery life. I have a...

Sold. Thx

Wasn't quite the next time out, but headed out that way today. After a year of trying, I finally made it up that hill from Whitehead going towards LMP. I've been able to make it up the short steep climbs leaving LMP starting last year, but today was the first time ever making this specific...

At least folks that couldn't afford the 705 outta be able to find them on sale soon if not already.

Thanks. I appreciate the support, but I gotta say that I'm done with competitions. I've competed in sports all my life and made it to nationals in two different sports. All that does for me is burn me out. In both of them it got to the point where they just weren't fun any more. I'm more...

Ha. Don't give me so much credit. I'd picked up a few about a month ago and had them in the kitchen. During one of those wife cleaning times, I quickly tossed them in the camelback so they wouldn't get lost. Never did take it out.

Thanks all. I'll probably geek it tomorrow just to even things out lol. Thanks for the support though.

I'm a clyde and have been riding for about a year now. I'm one of those guys who rides a bike that's a lot better than my skills. An all mountain bike, that's 10 years old isn't exactly made for XC or hill climbing... I'm doing the best I can though, am losing weight, and having a blast. Ok...

Everything I do is solo - biking, hiking, running etc. Wouldn't go without it. Have an elite non-interactive. I heard that black is anti-ss. :)

They're old beat up Times that I've had for about 14-15 yrs. I've definitely gotten my money's worth out of them. It made me think of back when I was on the USST and we'd train all day on one leg sometimes.

Went out for a quick ride on patriots path. About 5 miles from home I feel my left foot thrust down. Stem of my pedal sheared right off. Made for an interesting 1 legged ride home. Learned that it was easier to balance if I put my left foot on the shock. There is no way I would have made it...

Thanks mugen939. Wasn't so interested in comparing myself to anyone else, but rather in comparing these two specific hills to others. I know the hills are getting less hard (won't ever say easy)... like in LMP last year I couldn't make some of the hills on the yellow course and now can. I'm...

Since I haven't met many on this forum, let me first say that I'm 240lbs and 5-9. Yes, I know losing weight will help. I'm working on it. I spend most of my time riding in and around Mendham. There are two hills that I just can't make it up and it's been driving me nuts. I've been working...

Wow. Great thread. Very glad you're ok.

Based on your username I'll assume you either climb or aspire too. Any outdoor activity is the same. Some of the sweatiest days I've ever had were in the middle of a sunny day on a glacier climbing. Whether doing that, or biking, I almost always wear long sleeves. I prefer capilene to...

I live only a few miles from LMP and hardly ever ride there because of all the cocksockets that ride there. I'll ride from Ralston to Speedwell and on the return ride up into LMP but I'm slow. I'll yield to folks including going all the way off the trail if need be, but the folks that bomb by...

I'm not expecting anything to be preloaded. I'd like to be able to load them as a reference but not have to follow them.

I'll be the lone guy against the 705. Great unit, but to me it's WAY too complicated. It's been almost a year and I still can't figure out how to get maps with topo lines or load maps of like LMP for reference. I don't want to ride a specific course, but would like the trails to show up as a...
