As soon as I got home I changed and hoped my energetic tail onto Cadence for a ride out to my new work (first day is Friday!). I'm going to try to commute 2-3 days a week and want to try out a few different routes. The route I took today was 30.3 miles round trip and VERY hilly....lots of rollers. Since I'm marathon training this ride was taken at an "easy" training level. I will probably take this way either out or back or both depending on day light. It follows main blvd's and roads that are very well lit, the only downside is a lot of traffic and horrible unsynchronized traffic lights. The elevation profile is the very top pic...I think it's a pretty small resolution but you might be able to click on it to see it larger. None of the hills were anything extreme, it just sucked major tail that whenever I would start to climb one I would start at 0 mph as I would be waiting for the traffic light to turn green. I would also have to be VERY cautious as I descend since moronic drives taking their "free" right hand turn would not pay attention to a small biker speeding down a steep descent, at least my breaks work well. As I'm riding on my way out I was thinking to myself "How badass is this? I am sitting here riding in traffic and I am taking cars as *kills* Lol, suckers....you guys are sitting in gridlock probably experiencing high blood pressure getting pissed off a traffic while this little fat burning machine goes flying by you. :) " I ended the long stretch of Murray ahead of some cars that I started 7 miles back. $%&@ fuel goes for $3.70 a gallon I wonder how much I could market 300+ watts of Kat? Hmmmm, food for thought. Anywho I was super excited to download my power data when I got home. I knew it wouldn't give me much to use for training since it was any easy ride and I had so many damn stop and goes....but I still found it cool none the less. Oh and for some reason I'm still having a hard time getting my HR to register. It's annoying the hell out of me.

LoL
Makes me want to buy a new toy!
Sweet - awesome - I love numbers! But then again, I'm a geek like that.
Funny you mention the fuel thing. I did some math earlier this year regarding commuting to work and the 'cost of my fuel'. Turns out, it's actually more expensive mileage wise to bike-commute to work because of the increased caloric needs and the cost of food. :( Not that it would stop me from commuting on the bike though. :) Just a funny stat.
Are you having trouble getting the HR to register on the device while you ride, or on the computer after you ride?
And I can't remember... which PM did you get?
