On the PC displayed temperature data is that which is recorded when the user manually marks a lap or waypoint during the course of a ride. Geoff |

What time did you leave at. We left Westfield Doncaster at 7:30. We waited a little longer just in case Tony was running late. I left at 7:30 from Bulleen. The route I took to K Ground was about was about 4km less than you guys so I probably only missed you by 5 mins or so. Cold!!! Check my reply to flyingdutch if you want to know how cold it was. I suppose we should be grateful we live in Melbourne not Canberra. 1 degree, yikes!! 5 degrees is usually my limit before I need to cover the arms and legs so I figured it must have been something like that. btw. How did the new shoes and pedals go? They went well. My arches were aching a bit but I think that was just my (lack of) pedalling style. Once I started thinking about pulling up on the pedals on the upstroke the aching went away. Guess it will take a couple of weeks to get used to. But what a difference on the uphill, especially when I stand up on the pedals. DaveB |

in message perhaps everyones aim (beside Geoff and I. we are now wearing the smug' jersey :-) ) should have been to GET OUT OF BED!!! so it rained overnight! not a drop this morning I was actually out of bed at 7:30 that morning. I was surprised at how good the weather was, and how light it was (then again, we are past the winter solstice). No way I'm going to do an 80km ride at that time of day though. Fortunately it's all too far away from St Kilda. -- A: Top-posters. Q: What is the most annoying thing on Usenet? |

The beach is usually a degree or so cooler than inland (a modest boon in summer). Southerly winds are always a bitch in winter no matter where you are. -- A: Top-posters.

ebay for 410AUD with the s520 going for 385AUD. My nike triax is giving me f' all info compared to you guys! thanks, Bill -- kyra I can't really recommend anywhere in particular because I'm a little out of touch with the current prices for these things. Once you have one you tend to stop shopping around. I got mine from www.dickinson.com.au who are in Fitzroy. My guess is the price of the 720i will start to drop as the new model, 725i, starts to replace it so there should be some good prices starting to appear. Before you buy from OS you might want to check if the warranty will still be honoured here in Aust. just in case you require it. Also to complete the package you will want to get yourself the infra-red gizmo for uploading your data to a PC and a Cadence Sensor Kit. (and if you really really want the "power output sensor kit") I would never class the 720i as a replacement for a wired cycle computer as it, being wireless, can sometimes give incorrect readings when riding anywhere near HT powerlines or Trams. I use it to complement the data from the wired computer and record the ride data for later analysis. I also find the delay in displaying Cadence info slightly annoying on the 720i so I generally use the wired computer for this as it gives realtime info. Geoff |
