"I have a garmin 705 and it has been good. Battery life is up to 10 hours depending on screen brightness. I am used to downloading it each ride so it is not a big deal as it lives on the usb to charge.
I would love an 800 and that is what I…"

Which GPS??
I am looking at getting a GPS soon, and so am doing a bit of research, but am totally confused, there are too many to choose from. With or without HRM and cadence. Maps or not?.... I am confused!!!I know that the Garmins are quiet popular, and someone mentioned that they would look at getting a Bryton next time, but what does everyone think?What GPS have you got? How do you rate it? What are useful features that you like? and would you get that GPS again if you could choose again?Rick.See More
Richard Douglas commented on Steve K's event 'The Kowalski Classic - 30th Sept 2012'
"I see your point Steve about the club races not selling out, it just doesn't make financial sense to me. I can't justify the cost, especially when you can ride these tracks any other day of the year.
$140 isn't unusual, but it…"
Richard Douglas commented on Steve K's event 'The Kowalski Classic - 30th Sept 2012'
"WOW!!! Is it just me being a pommy tight arse, or does it seem a bit excessive to be charging $140 for a 90 to 100K race?
$90 for the junior riders...not forgetting any day license you might need!!

Richard Douglas commented on Snakehips's group 'Commuting Group'
"Melissa, that is really bad. Two idiots abusing you while you are still on the deck, but good on you for standing your ground and firing it back at them.
Don't let these loosers keep you down, and get back on the bike asap.
Hope the bruises…"
Richard Douglas replied to Nigel Jefferys's discussion 'Got passed by the strangest thing....'
"I was beginning to think that I was being left out of the circus, not having seen anything of great notable interest on my way to or from work.....until last night.
As I was practicing my low level flying along Bindubi Cycle path, and some guy on…"

Richard Douglas commented on Snakehips's group 'Commuting Group'
"Hey Nigel, Sorry I shot past you so briskly tonight. I had just put a big push in up the hill, and was enjoying the downhill when I saw you still slogging uphill. That one is a bit of a pain after climbing out of Glen Loch.
I promise to stop and…"
Richard Douglas commented on Snakehips's group 'Commuting Group'
"It was a fantastic morning to ride, and just like Nigel, my feet where frozen when I got to work, but almost the rest of me stayed nice and warm.
Not sure what the sun looked like this morning, I was at work and showered long before it decided to…"
