In SA, I understand Polar prices to be prescribed so they cost the same everywhere?

That looks a lot like something Style Man himself would have said...

you'll be fine. resist the tempation to "catch it all up" just before the race too. Rather take it easy in that week with some easy sessions just to get the legs spinning again.

nice wheelset.

Stupid question!!!!!! How many of the other so called "superstars" sleep in the tents. If you know anything about the Epic you would not have asked such a dumb question!!!!!!! < id="gwProxy" ="">< ="jsCall;" id="jsProxy" =""> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irony

wonder if he'll sleep in the tents...

This I got from one of the many forums where this has been raised: "All the Edge units use ONLY speed, time, and distance for calorie calculation. Your HR and Power Meter if present are not used. Most of us assume that the correct figure is somewhere between 50 and 60% of what the Edge displays"

For the record, the Tacx showed 670 Calories, the Garmin 1750 on the SAME ride.

My mate and I have been using the Garmin Edge 705 on our IDT's, and he picked up a very interesting phenomenon. His Tacx was measuring only about half the calories indicated by the Garmin for the same ride. A bit of digging and he found this: "We did find that the Edge 705 substantially over-estimates the number of calories you?ve burned. According to Garmin, the best algorithms for calorie consumption are protected by patents, so it?s best to treat this feature as a way of comparing rides for effort. If you eat to replace the food you have just burned, you?ll turn into a blimp." http://www.bikeradar.com/gear/category/accessories/gadgets/gps-devices/product/edge-705-31875 A bit disappointing to say the least.
