walkerr Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 Two of us on a group ride had our Edge 500s glitch at the same time today. Just 5 bad points in my GPS data, but enough to throw the ride out by 2,500km. Last time it happened was a couple of years ago, that one was a CME (aka solar flare). Seems we're due activity again today, so I'm guessing was the same cause Anyone else out riding today around 8:57:40 suddenly get a nice speed and distance boost?
Christian van Zyl Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 In Pretoria it feels like we're constantly being hit by a solar flair... #moerwarm
Mongoose! Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 Just put it on Strava and delete this thread. I saw nothing...

shaper Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 Was out riding around that time, but so such issues with my 500... bet you get a few KOM's with that!!
walkerr Posted January 6, 2016 Author Posted January 6, 2016 Hahah - well I did put on Strava briefly just to get a GPX Export which I could tidy. Strava made it even more impressive Sadly no KOMs - you just get a handful of random points, which don't match segments. This time they were in the Indian ocean.
BrandonF_ Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 I can only imagine your facial expressions at Max Cadence! ????
shaper Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 quickly do all the challenges for distance, meters climbed etc !! hahaha
Catatonic_Joe Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 No solar flares today, one was expected on 3/4th, but missed.
walkerr Posted January 6, 2016 Author Posted January 6, 2016 No solar flares today, one was expected on 3/4th, but missed. Ah ok, checked here and said some were on way today: http://www.spaceweather.com/ And was cause last time I saw this happen. Good news then. I now have a proper excuse for a new Garmin
Long Wheel Base Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 From the looks of the handle bars you ride a GIANT, if so then be proud of those stats as GIANT riders are awesome. But you sure would beat some of those guys on strava from oz and japan that ride like 500km a day.
scotty Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 Mmm would this happen with a Bryton. https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/156626-would-you-buy-a-bryton-again/
Ed-Zulu Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 Same glitch, also Garmin equipment, but mine happened yesterday at 18:06. Ran 1km in 14s, and did a 13min 5km according to Garmin
