Popular Post Longjohn ★ Posted July 3, 2021 Popular Post Share #1 Posted July 3, 2021 Sort of. I installed the Garmin connect app on my phone. Sync it with Strava, installed the cadence sensor on my bike, installed the speed sensor on my wheel, put on the heart rate monitor. Everything was working fine but I didn’t know what this big arrow was on the screen. I rode my butt off trying to have an impressive ride only to find out it wasn’t recording. That big arrow was telling me to hit the button on the side to start recording. I got home and sat on the porch swing trying to figure it out. Posted a goofy porch swing ride on Strava. I think I got it now. It did record my high speed of the day of 26 mph. I don’t know how it recorded that and not the ride? The 26 mph hill when I was going up it I was spinning 100 rpm in my lowest gear. It’s going to take me awhile to get in shape. I’m still out of breath from my ride that didn’t record. 6 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s real nice on gravel and that is what I bought it for. I can’t tell how much I’m struggling on the hills because I’m so out of shape or this bike doesn’t do hills as well as my other bikes. It’s a 2X11 so it should be ok. Maybe I’ll take a ride on one of my other bikes and compare. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longjohn ★ Posted July 3, 2021 Author Share #4 Posted July 3, 2021 I got my new Aerotech shorts and hi vis jersey the same time I got the garmen. They are very comfortable. I ordered them both in tall. The jersey is tall the shorts are short. That’s ok, I like short, I just figured they sell tall sizes I might as well get them in tall. They might be long on the average rider who wears a medium. They are about mid-thigh on me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longjohn ★ Posted July 3, 2021 Author Share #5 Posted July 3, 2021 I’m getting kudos on the ride that wasn’t on Strava. The one where I sat on the porch swing with my Garmin in my hand pushing buttons until I got it figured out. Lol. 🤪 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So glad you are feeling good enough to ride. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
