Decided to go for a road ride because the offroad is a bit of a mess after yesterday mornings' rain and consequent freezing over. The main roads were free but the bikepaths were very treacherous here and there. So I stayed on the road as much as possible. Car traffic was quite lenient which suited me fine. The average temperature was a frisky -1 degree C which felt colder because I was riding faster than I would be if I was riding offroad. Funny thing happened when I attached a USB to COM converter to my PC. It recognized the device and promptly started to download software for it. I only had to remove an earlier version and re-install the newest version and hey presto, I could read the data from my Polar S710 on my Vista 32 bits PC . Great, but I already ordered - and received-  a  brand-new Polar RS800CX. So now I have 2 Polar deviced to choose from. Not sure what I will do with that luxury.
Anyway, todays ride turned into a nightride when darkness fell and I had to be even more careful with the bikepaths. They were starting to freeze over because of some mist rolling in . But I got home in one piece.
