Many of you may know that I first partnered with Garmin way back in 2006 when the Edge 305s became available. Their devices have revolutionized cycle computing and have kept me abreast of my location and on course all over the world. Times change and so does technology, so I was super stoked to find these shiny new 500s on my porch yesterday!

Feel free to keep track of me on Garmin Connect under the Explore-Activities tab. My username is “plewse”, so all you have to do is type that into the username field under “show filters”.

There you will find a plethora of cool routes and races. Looking forward to you joining me for a ride this season!

With my truncated cross season officially over, I am able to start “real” preparation for next year. New additions to my arsenal of killer weapons are the Exustar 322 shoes. These babies are awesome because they feature what may be the thinnest platform on the market. Not only are they thin, but also super stiff with the full composite sole. The uppers are soft like slippers and the toe box roomy. Of course, they are some of the lighest shoes I have ever worn, too!

However, no shoe would be complete without CycleSoles inside. I have been wearing Peterson designed footbeds for 10 years and discomfort is a distant memory. Having the lightest full custom orthotics applying every ounce of force to the pedals is nice too!

If you are in need of fast feet check them out!
