RE: Tech-free is the motto

Just like the Garmin Climbpro is helping me prepare for difficult climbs

Oh-oh that sounds interesting. I live in mother flatland but do race in mountainous places sometimes. One more data source iihihihihi

Maybe I should try to remove the speed from my profile

Gotta try it out. I know many ppl who only uses heart rate or power on their main page to stay in zone 2 no matter what. I usually leave zone 2 when it's very windy because it hurts to ride at 18-20 km/h. Without that data it's much easier on the mind

The Netherlands has no mountains at all 😂
But I do go abroad every year to do some climbing with friends. This year we'll be in the Ardennen area in Belgium where there are some nice climbs. And in summer we'll be in the French Pyrenees where there are some monstrous climbs 🙈
The Climbpro with stats about gradient, gradient left, altitude and altitude left is a great companion.

I'm actually adjusting it as we speak!

Did you see Tadej Pogacar's win on stage 2 of the Giro without any data whatsoever? He crashed and forgot to bring his gps into the new bike \o\ I wonder how long will it take until they have remote data analyses much like the F1 cars. It sounds cool, but would kinda ruin cycling imho

This is awesome! It shows how many climbs you have to go. I don't have this kind of data, so I need to memorize the course (which I always forget)

A goldfish brain, just like me 😂
