I end up pacing with and meeting a lot of guys who are dialed into strava, measure their performance with it every ride, and shoot to improve that performance - even log-in and compare specific routes with other friends,. More power to them, and it's always good to meet other riders on the trail. My friend, also, who has suffered a couple of bouts of tachycardia, instruments himself and always rides against those readings, and he should. One time I was with him - I think it was brought on by dehydration, but I'm not his doctor and don't want to be.
My friend also navigates with his GPS when we're paddling coastal estuaries. My phone will do that, too, but I'm the mechanical watch guy, navigate with charts, chart compass, deck compass, and Steiner glasses with compass - to me it goes with the terrain. When I ride, the goal is calories, and I'd like to get 50 to 100 miles worth/week. I'm happy with my personal watt meter, feeling of success in my riding muscles, and occasionally reading the mechanical watch to measure my performance, but otherwise, have no specific goals. Cycling is the only way I know to burn an extra day's calories and have fun doing it. On Tuesday, March 29, 2016 at 8:44:37 PM UTC-5, Daniel D. wrote: > > strava's nice for tracking times.
