Garmin 510 versus Garmin 500

Submitted by MGately on Mon, 01/07/2013 - 1:12pm

Here's a review of the new Edge 510, Garmin's long-awaited update to the Edge 500: http://www.bikeradar.com/gear/category/accessories/gadgets/cycle-computers/product/review-garmin-edge-510-gps-cycle-computer-13-46859

I'd waited for this announcement to upgrade from an entry-level Cat Eye to a computer with GPS, and perhaps more data than I require, but now I don't know if I should get a discounted 500 or a new, larger, more expensive 510. Thoughts? Thanks.

Monday Morning C Ride in Central Park: Cancelled for Tomorrow

Submitted by JOlson on Sun, 01/06/2013 - 7:27pm

Unfortunately, I have to cancel my Monday Morning C Ride in Central Park for tomorrow for family reasons.

I expect to reschedule the ride soon and encourage all interested members to join us. I think of this ride as a sort of a "recovery ride" from both more strenuous weekend rides and from Jerry Ross's/Linda Wintner's Tuesday Thursday Morning Laps rides.

Saw the above for sale, but never heard heard of a cycling neck brace before. What is it for, and how does it work? Anyone familiar?

Hello All,

Thank you, Cathleen, for bringing to our attention: snow flurries in morning.

The leaders have decided to change the start from 8:30am to 9:30am.

If the weather is bad at 6am, expect another post here. We expect to ride.

Thank you,
