Wednesday: Cold Ride again

Radio/GPS tracker on Jim's Bike
Yesterday was a noticeably colder ride than Monday, and today was colder yet.  This in spite of weather forecasts claiming record high temperatures.
I was getting aggravated because my Garmin 350 GPS does not have an easy to find clock display.
On the older Magellan, just a few (3 or 4 depending on where you are in the menu) keystrokes pops up a dashboard-looking screen that displays current time, directional heading, speed, distance, etc.
Not as much info as the Garmin but it DOES have a CLOCK display.  Call it a weakness.
The diversion channel was running several inches deep in water this morning.  Probably a main water leak somewhere, since we've had no snow or moisture since last week.

Morning Stats from the GPS:                       Total Miles:  7.37
(Rats, with this old Magellan Gold GPS, all data is lost from the preceding trip when the unit is turned off.
Somehow the total mileage is saved until cleared.)
