Either use the Garmin Webupdater as Scotty suggested (recomended), or download the file directly from here: http://www.garmin.com/software/Edge605_705_320.gcd rename Edge605_705_320.gcd as gupdate.gcd copy it on [X]:\ (main directory of your 705) overwriting the existing one bring the 705 outside with a good satellite view Switch it on, and wait for update to complete and aquire a satellite fix.

A heads up for those with a Garmin Edge 605/705, there is a software update available through the webupdater. Change Log: Changes made from version 3.10 to 3.20: Improved calculation and reporting of total ascent, total descent, and grade. Improved handling of history files when saving. Correctly calibrates wheel size when using PowerTap hub. Backlight setting now saved to configuration and set automatically on power-on. Improved 'Go Home' functionality to search for any user-created waypoints named home. Added new timezone for Santiago, Chile. Allow house number 0 on find address page. Improved range on power calibration page. GSC10 sensor improvements to reduce speed spikes. Uses elevation calibration point when starting an activity during a course. Added message indicating elevation calibration point has been found. Expand elevation calibration radius to 50m. Translations updated in the user interface.

I am not seeing any images in posts, and also most of the avatar pictures are not displaying. Any one else?

This is one race that still is on my "to do" list. Initially planed for it this year, but unfortunately my wife has to be admited to hospital on Sunday evening. She is scheduled for a gall bladder operation early Monday morning. The day after our 23rd wedding anniversary on 06/06 nogal!

Are you talking about the coverage that was on channel 205? If so, then I agree. the comentator seemed to run out of things to say during his commenting. I do not know what the commentators name was.

For electronic/pc related goods, I would recomend looking these two sites to start of with: http://www.newegg.com/ http://www.bestbuy.com/site/index.jsp

Update: It seems that I was wrong, and it is actually an Italian frame made by Castello. The correct manufacturer was Castello Mario & Figlio of Torino according to this link: http://italiancyclingjournal.blogspot.com/2009/12/castello-mario-figlio-torino-and.html

All info that I can find to point you in a direction is that it seems it is made from Falck Libellula tubing. Libellula is Italian for dragonfly. Google the term "Falck Libellula tubing" and you will see some links. Here is a picture of a german-built "Rabeneick Campagnolo" with the dragonfly picture..

To all the Hubbers living in the Vaal Triangle, I saw this afternoon that a new Cycle Shop is opening its doors this coming Saturday morning at 08:30. Currently there are no signage up, so I do not know what the name of the shop will be. The shop is located at the Riverside Boulevard, corner of Hendrick van Eck boulevard and Frikkie Meyer boulevard in SE2. It is between Cash Crusaders and Inniebos 4X4 Center. I do not know whether there are any connection, but I saw a car from North Cliff Cycles outside the shop. Hopefully there will be a lot of opening specials.

Why don't you e-mail (s t e y n j a @ a n a n z i . c o . z a) me the kml file so that I can see if I can open it with Google Earth on my PC.

How do you open the file? Do you double click on the file, or do you first open up Google Earth and the"file" "open" and then browse and select the file?

I might be wrong, but I think in order to open a file in Google Earth, the file must be either a kml, kmz or GPX file. What is the Polar's file format?

DNF I developed a stomach flu on Saturday. Sunday morning I still felt queezy, but decided to start in my group. Bad mistake! By the time I got to the PnP water point at Simonstown, I was getting extremely painfull stomach cramps. The Doctor on duty at that medical station gave me a Buscopan injection and an Immodium tablet. He reccomended that I do not cycle any futher, because I was also starting to develop a fever. I decided to cary on, but barely made it to the Cape Argus water point at Smitswinkel. After 48.6km of suffering I finally withdrew from the race. There I was given another Buscopan injection, and the stomach cramps eventually subsided after about 2 hours. I was litteraly in tears from dissapointment from not being able to finish.

Thanks, I got the GDB file now.

But the wind was strong last year! Really, I mos was there!

Cool! However, when I try to download the Garmin file, the same Google Earth KMZ file is downloaded. Both links downloads the same file. steynja2010-03-09 15:34:07

I had a 50/50 experience with them. I once had a poblem with my D'Arcs cycling glasses, and was sorted out very quickly. I recently had a query regarding my Giro Transfer helmet. I e-mailed them, and a person by the name of Francois resonded. I then replied back to his response, and that was the last I ever heard from them again! I re-sent the same message a couple of times, but I was ignored flat-out from there on. Maybe it has something to do with my personality!

Here is a map and profile of Boyes Drive. You get to it at 22km and get back to the old route at 30km. You climb a total of about 100m over a distance of 5km.

This post actually makes me quite sad. Today 5 years ago, my brother, who was actually named Wouter Steyn (without the Leon), commited suicide.

I did not get this newsletter, but then again, I never get e-mail newsletters from them! I gues my work's e-mail mail marshall just deletes them. Maybe I should contact Cari-Ann and ask that newsletters are sent to my home e-mail address.
