Now I know how high I am.....

"about five foot eight", I hear you say. 

Yes, ok...but I can now tell how far this is from sea level and, critically, how far I have ascended today.  And I can tell my heart rate, my distance travelled, my cadence, the time to the next waypoint, when the sun rises and sets ("early every morning and every evening" I hear you say...) and lot's more besides.

And if you you don't realise just how satisfying this all is, and just how crucial this is for cycling then, I'm afraid, you just don't understand cycling.

Hurrah for the Garmin 705 bike computer that's arrived this week :)

p.s. am I getting too nerdy?
