We\’ve got another temperature roller coaster coming up.

Last night it fell almost to freezing; and the chill factor was 29 degrees. It was so cold that I didn\’t want to ride, except for a very short trip to a grocery store.

This morning it was a few degrees warmer; and there was far less wind. Tomorrow I have to go back to work, so I rode a few extra miles while I still could. Despite double socks, my feet got cold; and my hands felt chilly although I wore my heavy \”wombat\” gloves, and used warming packs.

HOTNWARMER Packs

Tonight\’s low is expected to be 50 degrees; then Thursday night, back down to 38 degrees! Honestly, it\’s easier when it\’s hot all the time. With these wild temperature swings, I need to keep multiple layers of clothing at the ready; and of course they take up valuable space. This weather roller coaster is most irksome!

This morning I sure piled on the layers; and except for my hands and feet, I seemed to get it just right. My Garmin wasn\’t just right, though.

Garmin Woes

Last night I was tinkering with it, trying to figure out how to get my heart rate to display as I\’m riding. When I started my ride this morning, I got some kind of workout screen that I\’d never seen before. It was too cold for me to stop; take off my gloves; and try to adjust the Garmin. I had planned to work on my pace; and I can\’t do that any too well if I don\’t even know how fast I\’m riding!

Eventually I got a \”Workout Complete\” message on the screen; and then the display screen that came up actually did have my heart rate on it! But this display screen also showed too many things, and such screen clutter isn\’t helpful.

I need to find an online manual that can walk me through How To Adjust Your Garmin. Otherwise, as regards heart rate, I\’m stuck on this roller coaster of now-you-see-it, now-you-don\’t.
