I moved all my Garmin ride data over using https://tapiriik.com/ and that worked awesome.....it allowed me to move 1200 ride entries without issue. It's not a fast process, so I just started it before I went to bed, woke up, checked it, all 1200 moved to Ride With GPS, closed my Garmin profile.
Also, I just ordered this to go along with it...https://www.amazon.com/G-SAVR-Lanyar...dp/B00XI4X59I/

Unfortunately (or fortunately) the rain was not nearly as bad as originally forecast. The ground was totally dry this morning, so my SKS Raceblade Pros were totally useless on my commute. I did have some issues with them in the at first as they started to rub a few times after hitting a bump or two. Once I got to work I gave them a quick adjustment with my allen wrench, and they were perfect on the return home. I did find a couple of puddles to splash through, which I remained totally dry, but perhaps not quite the shakedown test I was planning!

Ordered the Campagnolo Zonda C17 Wheelset. Should arrive in a couple of days. Still winter here in Canada but looking forward to riding on them as soon as possible!

Yup! From what I am reading, any lighter becomes exponentially more expensive (rate of diminishing returns). These wheels are a good weight (1540g), engage nicely, and have good power transfer (relatively stiff).

Repacked the bearings on my front wheel and found they were shot bought some wheels
The cone should be nice and smooth, mine looked like someone took a gouge to them

Installed my wheels. Will need to tweak the breaks and gears but man they spin quietly.

Picked up a thermal LS Sugoi jersey over at STP for 23 bucks - not a bad deal.

Picked up a pair of Giro LTZ II gloves in mono white, as I've recently discovered that my old (padded) gloves make for some pretty brutal hotspots on my palms after about mile 72.

Aftershokz Bluez 2S Wireless Bone Conduction Bluetooth Headphones, Neon Green, (AS500SN), haven's used yet but will post my thoughts in the adv/safety subforum as that seems to be the wildest thread on headphones or not

I'm basically doing their $8800 RLT 9 RDO "5 Star" build for about 40% less.
Mine will have American Classic mountain bike wheels instead of Enve wheels.
Piecing it together will allow me to do minor changes to suit my own needs - stem length, different saddle and bar tape, maybe custom Di2 wiring, etc.
Everything is ordered except the drivetrain and Di2 parts. I have lots of boxes in my closet right now.
Yes. That thread was so helpful to me.
It isn't a Cervelo R5 or Specialized Venge but is one of the more aggressive gravel specific bikes out there.

Made a bunch of changes on the bike over the winter. Picked up a saddle, (Ergon SR3), stem (FSA Energy), bars (Zipp Service Course 80), tape (Cinelli), pedals (Shimano 105), and shoes (Giro Empire ACC).
Still looking for a road helmet (my POC Tectal may look a bit funky on the road... like the look and fit of the MET Rivale), tires (something tubular, 25mm) and cranks (not sure yet)

$39, $89 sale @ NewEgg, $50 back with AMEX purchase.
I'm curious about these Road Prizm, hopefully they do improve vision as I wear glasses now just for wind, polarized don't do that much to me. Maybe contrast will.

A2 Novatec 10/11sp hub w/ ABG for my wheelset with shot freehub body bearings, and spline damage from the cassette cogs. This thing went from Taiwan to Memphis in just 24 1/2 hours, with just the $10 regular FedEx shipping. Wow!
