I think it depends on which model of Garmin you buy.
I use an Edge Explorer now (which I appreciate you're probably not likely to get), it's the first one I've had where the unit doesn't automatically shut down when the power supply is removed.

Re: Fatfighters 2019 - who's interested?
I'm in for this for 2019. I didn't post in the 2018 thread at all, probably should've as I went from 220 lbs to 188 lbs in the second half of the year. Got another stone to go, maybe more. Let's see how we go!

Re: Things that make you sad.
This makes me sad. Of all the things we've created as a race the Pork Scratching was surely destined to only ever be sold from behind the bars of Midlands pubs. But no. Maple flavour? Sea Salt? Cracked black pepper? Just wrong! https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4897/45413377525_c2d3264bc6_c.jpg Pork sc...

Just a thought, are you allowed to meet at a pub, get pissed, cycle a few miles then sleep in the woods?

Aah bollocks.
I got told this week that basically I couldn't ever ride a bike properly again. Ever. I've been diagnosed with a hereditary heart condition - Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy - that causes the heart muscle walls to thicken and harden, a by product of this is that the thicker walls restrict blood flow in ...

After watching everyone else having fun I’ve decided to give it a crack, currently at 3x3 while going between the hotel and work, already I’m thinking of detours to bag extras. Is there any way to upload past rides from ride with GPS? Absolutely! It's a bit long winded but I went through the proces...

Oh FFS this is getting silly. I was expecting two deliveries today, one has arrived and is the wrong bike. Just had the second one land. It's got DPD all over the box, which is right. Feels light though for a pint of Stans fluid and some other bits and bobs. It's the wrong address, not my box. Not ...

Another local one here, this time with Dr Nick. I had a couple of half days riding planned that fitted in well around family life. With the obligatory faffing for us both completed off we duly trotted. It's not particularly wild in my neck of the woods, but we dropped onto the first section of twist...
