RE: [RC] Who REALLY knows ? - David LeBlanc

And I 
don't think Sarah Miller has ever ridden with a GPS--but I'm 
a real piker, because I can only come within about 10 minutes 
of predicting when I should be at the next vet check, and she 
can usually get it down to about a 2-3 minute window, just 
looking at her watch...  :-)  Who'da thunk it??


I think some people just have a knack for it. I'm good at doing math in my
head, and from enough rides where I knew it was some number of miles to a
certain water trough, I could figure the pace. What's really good for this
one is Prineville where there are mile markers. After enough of this, you
get pretty good at estimating pace. OTOH, my wife, who has a lot more riding
experience than I do, has very little idea of her pace. I think the gadget
might be a good thing for her. Hey - if you're not good at it naturally, why
not get a gadget?

Of course, being male, I've only rarely met a gagdet that wasn't interesting
