Those are really nice saddles, the flex wing design seems to actually work and aids in comfort, I was surprise when I got my first one because I haven't found a decent racing saddle that you can ride for 75 plus miles. One of the reasons I use Brooks instead. But my first Fizik was a Vitesse I got an LBS as a turnout off a new bike for $30, then about 2 months ago got a Fizik Aliante from the same LBS and another turnout for $35; both saddles are really quite pleasant to ride on, not up to the Brooks but better then anything else I tried that wasn't a Brooks.

Not cycling related, but I use my current one (3GS) every time I go for a ride. My avatar picture definitely contradicts this post.

I've been caught in the rain too many times lately and have wondered if the idiot drivers in the Atlanta suburbs could see me so decided to put a blinky on the back of both bikes. So on my last visit to my favorite bike shop, along with a new chain and cables for the Litespeed, I picked up a couple of Planet Bike Blinky 7 taillights. Looks kinda dorky but at least I'm a little more visible.

I'm working on a rear-facing setup so when I am the victim of a hit-and-run my family will know who to sue.

Nice but all out would have been the 800
I just got the Edge 500 yesterday myself and today was the first ride. The Edge 500 replaces the Forerunner 305 that was not capable of recording long rides fully as it was really for running tho it had cycling capabilities...probably geared for Tri-Athlete usage....
Love being able to see the temp while riding as So Cal has decided to BAKE as of yesterday. I rode yesterday with it being this:

First ride of 50 miles:
Garmin data: https://connect.garmin.com/activity/190167208 Shows my distance correctly 50.82 miles but the map shows my start point into my ride not where I started...resulting in this on Strava: https://app.strava.com/rides/11089282 which has my distance ridden as 49.1
I did a Metric Century that started and ended at same point here is the Garmin Data: https://connect.garmin.com/activity/192007318 61.32 miles but again the map start gets cut off and here is the Strava data: https://app.strava.com/rides/11564513 which has my mileage as 45.2 miles.
I was told it was a memory issue and to make sure the history was clear before doing a long ride and so I tried that recently....
Did 51.6 miles and here is the Garmin data: https://connect.garmin.com/activity/220408871 Map once again cut off at the start point....resulting in this on Strava: https://app.strava.com/rides/21300829 which shows only 48.1 miles

For rides that went over about 48 miles the map would start dropping off the start point.

That's weird. I haven't deleted any history yet and it's worked out for me. Here is one of my Metric Centurys. Seemed to have mapped correctly for me https://connect.garmin.com/activity/205599397.

Cygolite Hot Shot. Ordered one this week, it came Friday and the two little red button covers were missing. Printed the return form already and ordered another one from Amazon already. Have I mentioned that I really like Amazon prime? Some of those affiliates are dicey though.
