I wore the Garmin on all my rides, and then once I had recorded the ride up Alpe d'Huez or anywhere else along the way, I uploaded the data to my TrainingPeaks account using Device Agent, and then used the File Viewer to export the data to Google Earth, resulting in the image that you see posted on the TrainingPeaks blog. The technology is pretty neat, it's exciting to be able to wear what looks basically like a glorified wristwatch and then later see exactly where you rode, anywhere in the world. I'm back in Boulder now, so maybe my next ride will show the way up to Ward or Estes Park! Happy training, Elizabeth Hi Mark,

Nice work getting next to Cadel. How about sometime after the tour, you do a step by step process of how to get these graphics and where your getting this info and how it all works within TP? I understand it is most likely coming from a Garmin? with a Powertap? thanks and keep up the great work. Liz & TP,
