Get a Surly Cross Check, throw some 700x42s on it and don’t let the dirt stop you

Ray, on your updated ANT+ vs BLE chart at about 571 on the x-axis there is a flat spot for BLE watts while ANT+ is showing some variances. Any idea what that is and if it might represent some of the comments about folks losing BLE signal for a bit?

To plan routes in France I would even suggest http://www.openrunner.com as it allows to display IGN maps which are the official topographic maps. Depending on the zoom the shown details change and the more details views include the height information. The site works well for cycling although it had been created for running.

This looks like a reincarnation of the Edge 605, focused on the recreational part of cycling and directing you to places where the 810 is more focussed on the “sports” part.

Having a very colorful swimcap goes a long way when it comes to visibility, if you don’t have a really bad position in water.

I have accidentally saved a ride in the same circumstances a couple of times. Less annoying but when you want only one file / recording.
Once you pause a ride it is too easy to push to save/delete buttons. Also if you are reviewing data when paused and want to swipe to another screen is is very easy swipe incorrectly and bring up the screen with the pause / delete which you automatically touch because your finger was already in the same position. They need to use one of the buttons below to confirm your action to prevent accidental triggering.
