SRM Training System recorded all data faithfully
Shimano Dura-ace 7701 wheels (2001) and Michelin Pro Race 3 tires – second season on these babies with no flat tires ever, no truing, nothing. Brilliant combination
1 bottle Coppertone sport Ultra Mist sunblock (sorry Trev, no baby oil this time)
Tweets, FB, email, FB and messages from all my supporters!
What didn’t work:
Google My Tracks on Xperia Arc phone – too much battery consumption
Wireless coverage from Boundary Ranch to almost Longview – good grief 140 kms of dead zone, which also meant shutting the device off to prevent battery drain from signal hunting. No tunes or nothing for almost 5.5 hours
