Recovery can/does take longer as we age.

51.3 miles on the group ride. it had 1932 ft of climbing too.

The 520 does have a better map display than the 500 or 510. I would compare to the 820 and 1000 before I purchased a 520, though

I stopped for more pics when I was doing some rides at my son's place. This past June I took my Garmin bike computer with me, but last year , and in the past, I just used my phone

I use the Strava app on my phone to track my run workouts, but they are relatively short... 30+ min for a 5K. I used to use my phone to track rides on my second bake, the Trek 1500. I recently started to just use the Garmin 520 on that bike too. When I did use the phone app I dont recall having a problem with auto pause

My son gave me a Yeti 20 oz mug for Christmas a couple of years ago. it is great. A co-worker picked up a knock off at Wal Mart that works just as good. My mug is stainless steel, not aluminum

Strava will let you set up the app for total time or rolling time. As for battery, depending on the length of the ride you may need to carry an external batter with you

at the office. I am taking tomorrow off

I have a Garmin 520, so I definitely use Garmin Connect. If you are using your phone, ridewithgps and Strava have apps.

good morning

I use a mirror on my glasses. I can see it being very useful in rural situations, but wonder if you would get information overload on city streets.

20 miles this morning before work. to make it more of a workout I had to change a flat 6 miles into the ride.

12.5 before work

IDK

bad news either way. I felt better when I had a place with a basement. it felt safer. but in Indiana we didnt have as many as you do in Texas, or as in Oklahoma
