Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Good luck on the dr. appt. I see my family doc on Wednesday and can't wait.
Have you called Garmin customer service about this? I've had an issue with my 1030 and livetrack not working properly. After a couple of things tried, they are replacing mine with a another 1030 unit.

I wonder if you asked the average (non-athletic) person on the street: Do bicycles or treadmills cost more? what the responses would be.

I put up the camping hammock outside last evening, and attempted to sleep in it. It's an oven! I am no longer concerned about being too cold in it in the north country. I look forward to it
