I can’t count the number of times someone has told me that I had to buy a Garmin. The looks of sympathy I used to get when people saw that I only had a Polar (Tour de France version, I’ll have you know) were a notch above ‘annoying’.

So, are you happy now?

In the photo above:

1. A Garmin Vector pedal-based power meter.

2. A Garmin 510, because it was in stock and I need to change my computer now.

3. A glass of wine, to make the €1800 outlay go down easier.

If I figure out how to get everything installed, expect a review pretty soon.
