Geeky me

Self proclaimed geek, I am. Here’s your proof:

I got a Garmin 305 GPS Bike computer for Christmas. Top 10 coolest thing ever. It came with a cadence sensor and a heart rate monitor. So, on my bi-weekly ride on Sunday morning, I had:

  • Average speed of 8.6 mph
  • Max speed of 18.8 mph
  • Distance 9.8 miles

That’s normal for all bike computers, This also included:

  • Average cadence of 55 rpm
  • Average heart rate of 134 bpm
  • Calories burned: 687

The software imported the ride, and mapped me in Google Earth and USGS maps.

Here’s some picts of the unit, and the cadence sensor:

Now, go wash the geek off your hands.

  1. I’m glad you like your Christmas present, Babe. Oh, and I’m never washing you off my hands, geek or not! ;)

    P.S. Did you mention you took these gifts with MY birthday present?

  2. Umm, that was supposed to say, “took these PICS with my CHRISTMAS present.” I have three kids, what do you want? At least you have two comments now.
