I use a Polar 720. I think the current model is a 725. It tracks nearly everything.
I also often ride with a GPS - Garmin 60CSx.

Just tell V you are committed to some ride, and then tell her she has permission to get tough. One day I will come down and we will struggle along in her wake together! LOL

I have a CicloSport CM436M that I really like (once I was able to comprehend the GEnglish instruction manual) but unfortanately it's been discontinued. Ciclosport currently doesn't seem to have an equivalent model.
One of the things I really like about it is that I can download my ride data onto my desktop computer and save epic rides for posterity

Thanks for the tip. I went to the Polar website to check it out and Originally Posted by Veronica

The Polars will do graphs like that too. But I like the color of Jo's.

Oh, and on the computer...I don't recall the model name, but my Specialized cyclometer has altitude as a function. Seems to be fairly accurate. No downloading, though.

The Polar will allow you to turn off sections of the graph.

Bend really did a number on me. I'm really picky about my beer these days...

Well, this is climbing related, sort of! I just got my finisher's jersey from Devil Mountain Double!!
( http://forums.teamestrogen.com/showthread.php?t=15205 ) (I never pre-order jerseys from "epic" rides - I don't want to buy something before I finish the ride. Bad karma. So it took a while for the post-ride orders to get processed.)
It has this picture on it:
And I'm wearing it now.
