Seems that May is bike month in America, not only that, but in Motionbased’s blog I get a mention as one of the two runners up for logging the most number of “commute” bike rides for the year. Hardly record breaking distances with my 5km ride, but there would have been another month’s worth of entries if the Edge 305 hadn’t been off being repaired for all of January!
Interesting that the second, wamble, and third, ajft (me), are both Australian, while number one, mallfellow is in the US.
Fun and games over the weekend attempting to get the Motionbased software working on the home laptop. Minor problem is that the laptop is running1 Windows Vista, major problem is that http://www.motionbased.com is almost unusably slow.
Downloaded two updates, but had to leave prior to installing them:
MBAgentInstall_release_2.3.0.1.exe: Existing version 2.3.0.0Garmin-USBDrivers_221.exe: Existing version is 2.2.0
I managed to read data from the Edge 305 and upload it, but couldn’t login to the website, either the password is wrong or its just timing out.
Footnotes
1 Of all the vebs in the English language, “running” doesn’t quite seem appropriate when applied to the speed of Vista; I think I’d prefer anything from the following list: walking, crawling, meandering, dawdling….
