The weather has been really nice over here and I have found a nice 40 km route combining gravel roads and single track.
I woke up 6am on Sunday morning, filled my thermos with coffee and hit the road.
First stop after 12km gravel road. I had my morning coffee here. No one else except couple of guys fly fishing:
Next up is 13km of technical single track. It was nice and DRY! Had to some weight lifting here :-D
The the last 15km gravel again with second pit stop and a small snack at a farm. You can see my new tiny Garmin Edge 20 cycling GPS on the left side of the Intuvia display:
I recently bought a Garmin Edge 20 strictly for navigation and used it first time on this ride. Worked pretty well, I didn't have to keep checking my phone for route anymore. Couple of times I got lost from the track, but I really liked how Garmin shows where the track is related to my location. It made navigation so much easier in crisscross of trails. It's just a pain to upload the routes to the Edge 20.
First time I had problems with the bike as well. First Error 503 (speed sensor error), but that was quickly fixed. Later in the ride I wondered what's stinging my hand and soon figured out that it was electricity. Current was bleeding from the battery to the frame and from there to the metallic bar end plug. I removed the battery and cleaned connectors and the problem went away. Only thing that worries me that this happened on a dry ride. I hope it won't happen again.
