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, apart from when I either forget to turn it on or the firmware has wedged itself and I cannot turn it on.
Catastrophically, I dropped the Edge 705 while leaving work on and despite pulling over as quickly as possible, I got to watch as the first three drivers in a row managed to line their wheels up perfectly to run over it, destroying the screen. Amazingly, once I got home I found that if I squeezed the case just right I was able to get it to connect as a USB device and download the last few rides! After some hunting around I found that Garmin offer a flat-rate repair/replace service and so I took them up on it. During October I kept track of my riding on Strava via my phone, then started using the replacement Edge 705.
Garmin roadkill :( 3 cars got it before I could pick it up
