If yours are vastly different to these values your calibration of altitude needs attention.

My asc values varies depending on which software I upload the same Garmin file to. But mostl agree on rondabouts 1700-odd.

 

Still struggling with the same hay fever, going to the doc today. :cursing: Starting to go into my chest now, sinuses feel lekker vrot.

 

BTW, I gave a couple a lift from the guest farm we were on just outside De Rust. We found a racetec chip whilst packing. So if you suspect it's yours, PM me and we can make a plan. You would have been traveling there in a Hilux next to a 6-y/o girl who crashed her bike over the weekend... (I do remember your names, but since this is a public forum I won't tell any more!)

Some anomalies... only measured 93km, and my riding time as 4:32. My official time was 5:18, and I definitely didn't stop for 45 minutes at water points. Still have to play around with it apparently.
