I set myself the goal of riding 5200km in 2012, that’s 100km a week for anyone who thinks it an unusual number. Most of my rides are recorded on my Garmin Edge 705, although sometimes I forget to turn it on, or more rarely, can’t find it and ride to work without it.
I also had the problem this month that the Edge became gradually more unreliable at turning on and finally got into a state where I couldn’t turn it on either through the buttons or by plugging it into the USB cable – some digging around found a way of connecting to USB while pushing the joystick up – then I erased all the history. So far it seems to be operating as well as ever.

Still falling further behind, not helped by a ten day holiday with no cycling. 568km behind, although a late surge of activity in the last two days may have helped and I’ve now got a couple of targets to force me to ride more, rather than just an optimistic “I should ride more” intention.
