It was a sunny and warm winter day, so of course I headed for GMR. My time to the shed was a bit slower than usual because I decided to go up in some higher gears. There were a few other riders on the road, as well as some skate boarders, but almost no motor vehicle traffic. The attached picture shows my Garmin and my stem cap thermometer when I was stopped at the shed. The altitude shown on the Garmin is a bit low - it usually reads about 3500' - because of the air pressure is up a bit from normal and that affects the
Garmin's barometric altimeter. In any case, you'll note that the temperature is a tad over 80 degrees - Southern California winters are really severe!
Yeah, winter is a killer around here ha ha! It was 82 last week when I rode with Hillbasher. One thing I like about my Edge 500, has a window for the temp. Although that stem cap thermo is pretty cool! ;-)
