Yes, it was chilly. 50's in the evening, generally low 70's in the day. A couple days it never got above mid-60's! The lack of humidity was unusual for this southern boy.
The Garmon 305 got good use. I wouldn't have believed the grade without it! I'm absolutely hooked on that little toy.
Bethel is at the foot of the White Mountains, about 1.5 hours Northwest of Portland, 3 hours from Boston. Lots of cycling, canoeing/kayaking, running, hiking, skiing, etc. A REMARKABLE little town and totally uncommercialized by it's proximity to the ski slopes. I was VERY impressed!

Nice Legs Silver!
And nice trip overall.
I think the time DBF and I got the first fix of biking "for real" was a 22-miler in Maine, in Arcadia N.P.
A couple years later the bug really bit.It's a little secret you didn't know about us women. We're all closet Visigoths.

I believe MB is referring to Motion Based, a web application for translating and analyzing GPS data as well as providing online mapping. We use it and love it! (Although it is pretty interesting to see the difference in some of the stats when comparing Motion Based to Garmin's Training Center.) Technology -- you gotta love it!!

HG is correct. If you think the info in Training center is cool, register and upload to Motion Based.
As to the diff in the #s, MB uses some kind of corrective algorithms to make the #s jive between satellite and mapping. I think it accounts for some the up and down that the satellite doesn't get. Usually your mileage will be a tad higher on MB.

It just gives lots more information. Cadence, breaks down heart rate better and in an easier to understand format, grades on elevation, and I like the nifty graphs. Also calories used (so I can have a milkshake), and weather for the ride. Originally Posted by Mr. Silver
