Garmin 935 altitude reading

Submitted by EODonnell on Thu, 07/13/2023 - 10:02am

My altimieter readings are all off.  I did 4 CP laps.  It said 3,428 ft.  I went online and read tips for fixing this.  It says to wash the back of the 935 with plain water.  I did so.  No change.  Then soak and agitate every 60 seconds for 5 minutes in plain water.  Nothing.  Any suggestions?

WANTED: your input on city island fried seafood and ice cream ride

Submitted by cschang on Tue, 07/11/2023 - 11:11pm

following the success of the jersey shore sandwich/brewery/ice cream ride, i'm keen to scout city island and surroundings to come up with a short, pretty route that's also somewhat recovery ride-ish and accessible to all types of riders.

Location to do FTP Test

Submitted by mhsimkin on Tue, 07/11/2023 - 9:05am

Hi:

I'm looking for someplace to do a 2x10 FTP Test. 

I have been using the Bear Mtn Climb, from the traffic circle by the lodge/carousel to the tower (once a year as my test), not sure that will be available in the near term.  I'm in the NW BX, so places in Brooklyn/Queens are doable, but probably an all day trip. (ex: Floyd Bennet Field).

Places in Bergen, Westchester, and lower Rockland County are preferred.

Thanks.

Website request: Get signed-up rides in Calendar

Submitted by meghprkh on Sun, 07/09/2023 - 3:12pm

Hi all,

New-ish member doubt: Is there a way to get the rides you sign up for in Google Calendar automatically?

Afaik two common ways to do this are:
- An ics link linked to your account that tells you rides you signed up for
- Sending a calendar event attachment thing in the email of the signed up for ride email

Apologies if this thing already exists somewhere and I have been unable to find it

Regards,
Megh

Taking a bike on Amtrak

Has anyone done this? Do you have to bring anything to secure your bike and do you need a lock? I understand you have to make a reservation in advance and remove the front wheel but that's all I know. Thanks! Also any intel on elevators at moynihan station would be helpful.
