A loop for flatness

Flatness is more a state of mind. What do we mean when we say "flat"? Do we mean the absence of hills, or do we mean the absence of any zip in our legs. Is a flat day about spinning and not climbing, or is it about the ontological miasma that so defines these times? Can we really know what we mean by flat any more; for that matter can we know why are we reverting to the universal pronoun "we" when in fact the universality of the situation described really only encompasses the writer alone, and he (yes, I can verify that this gendered pronoun is accurately used in this self-description) should not presume to speak for others. That being said, we persist. It was a flat ride.

  • FIT Course

    Best format for turn-by-turn directions on modern Garmin Edge Devices

  • TCX Course

    Best format for turn by turn directions on Edge 500, 510. Will provide true turn by turn navigation on Edge 800, 810, 1000, Touring including custom cue entries. Great for training when we release those features. Not currently optimal for Virtual Partner.

  • TCX History

    Useful for uploading your activity to another service, keeping records on your own computer etc.

  • GPX Track (.gpx)

    Useful for any GPS unit. Contains no cuesheet entries, only track information (breadcrumb trail). Will provide turn by turn directions (true navigation) on the Edge 705/800/810/1000/Touring, but will not have any custom cues. Works great for Mio Cyclo. Find GPS specific help in our help system.
